Resolve to Manage Your
Anger<http://rdstrongmail1.com/track?type=click&mailingid=286600&messageid=44400&databaseid=68100&serial=1222914774&[email protected]&userid=60554&extra=keycode=&promokey=EPD00567&execution_nbr=26&&&2002&&&http://www.purposedriven.com/article.do?method=articlePage&contentId=201845&trkid=ddnews>
by Rick Warren
"Love . . . is not easily angered" (1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV).
The Bible says, "Love is not easily angered." It doesn't say love never
gets angry at all. In fact, sometimes the loving thing to do is to get
angry. Jesus became angry in the Temple when he saw his Father's house being
run like a marketplace.
At the same time, we can love someone and still get angry at that person.
Sometimes the anger may be 'righteous' and sometimes it may be 'selfish,'
but the people we love the most are the ones most likely to make us angry.
My point is this: God placed the capacity to get angry into your biological
makeup. Being angry is not a sin; it can become a sin if we allow it to push
us into destructive behavior, but the emotion itself is not a sin. The Bible
says even God gets angry.
You can't avoid anger, but you can learn how to control it. You can resolve
to manage it, so it becomes an asset, rather than a liability. This means
you quit making excuses and justifying your anger: "That's just me. I just
blow up. I can't control it."
Anger can be controlled. Have you ever been in a fight with someone and
things are getting pretty loud, but then the telephone rings? Notice how
quickly you can manage your anger! You've got a lot more control over your
anger than you think you do. Resolve to manage it, then confess, "I can
control my anger with God's help."
