TODAY'S WORD
People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.”
Proverbs 14:29 (NLT)
When someone is angry with you, it’s easy to show anger in return. But before you allow yourself to get mad back, calculate what you’re going to lose. Calculate the cost of anger.
The Bible is very specific about uncontrolled anger. Proverbs 14:29 says, “A hot temper shows great foolishness” (NLT).
When you let anger take control, there is a cost. You’re going to sin.
When you lose your temper, you always lose. You may lose someone’s respect, the love of your family, your health, or even your job.
How many Children have become alienated from a parent because of out-of-control anger? How many people have been alienated from a husband, a wife, or a friend because somebody lost their cool? Anger destroys relationships faster than anything else.
Anger always comes with a price tag. Before you retaliate, calculate the cost.
May God grant you the vrace to choose the wise path of controlling your anger in Jesus Name.
