Proverbs 19:11 (NKJV) 11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.
Anger.
It can affect so many of us in one way or another.
We can have anger in us, or others around us can be angry. Either way, it can alter our direction, sway our emotions and change the outcome of any situation where it is present.
There are very few situations where anger is good or brings good results. In some cases, anger can be a driving force that brings sweeping, positive change to bad situations.
But in order for that to happen, anger should only be the catalyst that prompts someone to change something bad. The change itself, though, needs to be acted on with love, forgiveness and a genuine desire to help people.
Anger with no boundaries will only bring destruction and more anger, along with bitterness and hatred. It will create a never-ending cycle of destruction that will last for generations if left unchecked.
We, as God’s people, need to be able to learn to overlook transgressions, even when they seem terribly unjust, and let God show us how to react by His spirit, not by our own emotions.
Only then will we be able to see past our anger and make something good and positive come out of it.
