As followers of the Lord Jesus, we have to make a decision to reject anger as an option in our dealings with one another and with the Lord.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. (Ps 37:8-9 NKJV)
Anger and wrath only cause harm and heartaches. But all who wait upon the salvation of the Lord will inherit the earth.
He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is impulsive exalts folly. (Pro 14:29 NKJV)
A person who hardly ever gets angry is called understanding by the Word of God.
You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 20 for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God. (Jas 1:19-20 NASB)
Our human anger doesn’t bring about the righteousness of God, so it is a weapon that we need to abandon. A person’s discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is to his credit that he ignores an offence. (Pro 19:11 ISV)
In every way, it is best to seek the Lord and to rely upon Him to lead us and guide us in our responses and our reactions. Glory to God.
