Anger

Ephesians 4:26

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath.

I had a professor in Bible School said this scripture was one that helped keep his marriage together. He humorously added that he had many sleepless nights down through the years.

Sometimes anger calls our attention to an injustice that needs to be addressed, and appropriately so and we are spurred to righteous action. Most of the time, however, our anger is ignited by the violation of our selfish expectations, rights, and privileges.

Anger is a human emotion that God made into each and every one of us. Anger is not a bad thing, but one thing is sure, anger was never intended to continue unchecked.
