Often times I get so angry that I say things that I wish I hadn't. I am not thinking about the words coming out and they are usually harmful. Sometimes I am trying to manipulate the situation to make it someone else's fault, when really I am the one to blame. (I am very good at that, by the way.) So, I ask myself, "What would happen if I were to keep my mouth shut when I get angry?"
- Maybe I would have a calmer, quieter spirit.
- Maybe I wouldn't sin in my anger.
- Maybe I would do more listening.
- Maybe I would have a clearer head to hear God's voice.
- Maybe I would diffuse the situation.
- Maybe I wouldn't hold onto my anger for so long.
- Maybe I wouldn't even get angry.
There are so many verses to cover here, so I will save that for another day. For now, why don't you look up a verse or two and see what God has to say to you. Here are some of my favorites...
Proverbs 10:19; Proverbs 17:27; ***Proverbs 31:26***
