LET YOUR ANGER BE LIKE THE LORD'S.

LET YOUR ANGER BE LIKE THE LORD'S.

"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires" (Jas 1:20, NIV) Anger is natural human emotion. It is a normal response to threats, attacks, injustice and dissappointment. The Lord our creator knows our body mechanism very well, that, He advises us to be slow to anger. He did not say we do not get angry. In fact, when sin and injustice occurs, we can become angry because others are being hurt. However, your response is key. Be slow to it, as anger increases your heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar level and adrenaline. It is a corrosive emotion that can ran off your mental and physical health. "The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. (Num. 14:18, NIV) As the Lord is filled with love and forgiveness, so also should we be that anger does not overtake us to sin. EN@TWD
