ANGRY? – BETTER CHECK THE SUN

READING: EPHESIANS 4:25-32

Verse 26: “Be angry and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,”

Anger is a reaction that occurs in people, sometimes causing great expense in the form of painful consequences. Because of that many people struggle with attempts to handle anger in some manner that will avoid problems. Some even try to never be angry at all. The wisdom of the Bible, however, recognizes that anger will occur. Therefore we are given scriptural wisdom on the topic. Anger itself is not necessarily sin, but it does very frequently result in sin. It is my personal belief that it becomes sin when it causes the existence of godliness to diminish. This happens when anger is not promptly resolved through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Unresolved anger grows and festers over time, even ultimately causing bitterness which defiles a person. This must be taken very seriously. It is not necessary that all anger be avoided, but all anger must soon be brought to godly resolution. That brings us to the point made by this verse. To insure that the dangers described above are  avoided, anger should be resolved by the end of the day in which it occurs. That’s a thought –  about God’s Word.
