Anger - DB

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.  James 1:20  

   Anger is an emotion common to all of us.  I feel anger when I see a child mistreated or a young life destroyed by sin.  In many cases, anger is a response to the mistreatment of those things we love.  The Bible says to be angry and sin not.  Anger can motivate us to take positive steps to help others.

    Anger can also destroy us and those we love.  In this verse, James warns us about the destructive nature of anger.  Words spoken in anger can cause great harm to ourselves and others.  Anger allowed to fester is like a cancer in our spirit.  Only in forgiveness can our spirit find peace.  Only with God’s help can we forgive those who trespass against us.
