Angry Men

The end of a matter is better than its beginning; a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit. Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:8‭-‬9 HCSB

Anger arises a lot of times due to annoyance and impatience. Solomon is urging us to restrain our spirits from rushing towards anger.

Paul said: Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the Devil an opportunity.
Ephesians 4:26-27

Anger does not work the righteousness of God.
James 1:20

Solomon tells us that anger abides in the hearts of fools. As I dont want to be considered a fool I do not want to abide with anger but rather abide with Christ.

If I am honest anger burns me up, upsets my stomach and gives me a headache. Not worth thinking on or contemplating. Our thoughts incite anger or yield to forgiveness. Forgiveness is peace and reconciliation with God, my own heart and others.
Choose forgiveness and peace and if they are hard to find, get space and seek God. He knows where they are found.

We are seeing too many murders and needless deaths. Anger causes murder. Jesus told us when we are angry with our brother we murder them in our hearts. Anger sets out to destroy. Dont partner with your enemy and become a destroyer. Amen!
