Anger: Put it away
Ephesians 4:31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Today's verse by Paul proclaims what we should do as born again children of God above -we need to get rid of things in our lives - or better let - allow GOD to take them out of our lives- when we truely follow our Lord Jesus - our lives cannot help but change - Paul says we need not have bitterness , wrath or anger in our lives- to be like Christ however means we do get angery sometimes - but here lies the point - if we get angry like Jesus did - we would be righteous in our anger - Jesus was no push over- He drove out those selling in His Father's House - The Word says for us to be angry but not to sin - it also says we should never let the sun go down on our wrath - we don't need to hold grudges - we don't need to be mad because we don't get our way - but we do need to be angry about the injustice in the world - the sin that consumes the world - when we are angry in the right way - we can be used mightly by God - however - misplaced anger can ruin our witness for Christ -if we are angry all the time and have no joy in our lives -why would anyone want to be around us - much less follow Christ? I know these are harsh words - I am hearing what is being witten and have to acknowledge my failure in this area - I often get angry about things that matter very little - I tend to make a moutian from what is actually a mole hill - now anger has its place in our lives but should not be the only thing people see - God is Love proclaims His Mighty Word -let this be true of our lives- when people see us - do they see the love of CHRIST or just an angry person? Lets allow God to rid our lives of those things that hinder our walk and witness for Christ!
footnote: God says for us to be angry but sin not....this is the key!
By the blood of CHRIST......we can demonstrate real love!
Praises, Prayers & Previews:
PRAISE THE LORD!
