"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)
I admit that it can be easy to hold a grudge. Sometimes we may get hurt and become angry. We may see injustice and get angry. Anger itself isn't always bad, but it can be when we allow it to be an open door for the devil.
When we get angry, we shouldn't let it turn into sin. We need to take our anger to God so that He can help us use our anger productively without it becoming a sin. Our anger may provide motivation to get something done. Our anger may help us realize changes that we need to make in our lives. Our anger may help us draw nearer to God as we allow Him to help us. As we use our anger, we must be sure that it does not take control of our lives. We should avoid going to bed angry and we should avoid our anger becoming an open door that allows the devil to enter our hearts and minds. We can use our anger for good when we turn to God!
You can get angry, but don't let your anger be an inviting open door to the devil!
Prayer:
Dear God-
You know I get angry. Please help me to use my anger for good and not as an invitation to the devil. Thank You for being patient with me and for being willing to help me through every situation. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
