Day 141 Proverbs 16:32 Proverbs 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city. Nothing good ever came from anger. It destroys relationships, and lives. It’s very hard to live with an angry person. However, those who are calm, have better control over their lives. Solomon knew many angry people, some of them in his household. He could compare those with anger to those who held none. He found those who could control their anger and lives were more responsible and trustworthy. As Christians, it is better to live at peace with your neighbors, and let go of anger. It brings nothing but trouble, as Paul showed. Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. When you display the fruit of the Holy Spirit, there won’t be any room for anger in your life. Everyone is angry from time to time, but when you lay aside your anger and forgive each other, your lives will be loving and peaceable. It’s easy to be angry at situations and hard to forgive. If living a peaceful life were easy, there wouldn’t be strife in the world. Living a peaceful life takes patience and will power. It takes a lot of practice to make the change to a peaceful life where bitterness, anger, and resentment do not have a place to live. It’s not too late to live a peaceful life. Let’s pray: Father, help me live a peaceful life, free of anger and bitterness. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen. Copyright © 27 January 2017 by Valerie Routhieaux Image courtesy of Pixabay
