Angry Without Sin

12/11/2014

0 Comments

 
"Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity." -Ephesians 4:26-27 (NASB)
Whether watching my four year-old daughter or my eighth graders, it is sometimes amazing to see how disagreement and anger can arise and then soon be forgotten.  Apparent frustration one day can turn to friendship the next, without a grudge or clinging to past events.  When we think about love, it doesn't exclude times of anger and frustration.  We just need to be careful about how we resolve that anger.

It is okay that we get angry, but we need to be sure we don't let our anger turn into sin.  When anger crosses into vengeance or hatred, then it becomes sin.  We can be angry.  We can use allow God to use our anger to guide us or fix a broken situation, similar to Jesus' anger at the money changers and dealings in the temple, but in the end we need to reach a solution and forgiveness before the devil takes hold of our actions!

When you get angry, don't let it become sin or an opportunity for the devil!


Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the forgiveness that You have freely given me.  Help me to resolve my anger through You before it becomes an opportunity for the devil.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
