"BE ANGRY AND SIN NOT”
BY
ADRIAN ROGERS
"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath." Ephesians 4:26
God's Word tells us to be "slow to wrath" (Proverbs 14:29, James 1:19). There's nothing that will do more damage to your relationships than unwanted, unwarranted anger. If you are given to anger, let me tell you a couple of things the Bible says, and it won't be flattering.
First, the Bible says you are foolish. Ecclesiastes 7:9 says, "For anger resteth in the bosom of fools."
Second, you have a weak character. Proverbs 16:32 says, "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city." Uncontrolled anger is like throwing a rock into a wasp's nest.
Do you have a short fuse? If so, confess it to the Lord. Don't let Satan get a stronghold in your life. If you get angry today, ask yourself, "What need is not being met?" Give that need to the Lord
