Real Strength
Proverbs 16:32
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty: and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city!
Anger is something that will destroy - it comes from not getting our way most of the time - it's a very selfish emotion - but can be used for good - God can be angry - and it's ok - we can be angry but it must be over something that is right - not a selfish whim - God says in HIS word to be angry but sin not - Jesus got angry and threw out those selling in His Father's House - anger in itself is not sin - it's what we do with - it's what gets us angry and how quickly - it must be noted that JESUS saw these people selling in His temple days before He ever went in and ran them out - He held His anger - He showed what it means to have real strength - most of us if we are honest would say our fuse is generally short - it does not take much to cause an explosion - this is not good - it's a weakness - not a strength as the world sees it - the world says to be strong - you must be angry - you must be mean - and you must get your way - Holy anger is good because it's against something that God hates - but selfish anger is not good - how are you at holding your anger at bay? Do you find yourself exploding often? Well there is a solution - we must allow GOD to have control of our anger - we must give it over to Him - in this we will find real true strength - the Word says that if we hold our anger - we are stronger then one who takes an entire city! Think about that today - our anger does not produce righteousness - our anger is all about us - we must release it to JESUS and let HIM have control! If you struggle with holding your anger - it's time to give up - we are weak in and of ourselves but not in HIS power! Give your anger over to GOD!
Word to the wise: How long is your fuse? In Christ it can be lengthened!
