Good morning!

Handling anger is a critical life skill. Especially in today’s often angry society. Below is a brief list of quotes from famous ministers and other individuals that gives us insight into how to view and cope with anger.

Aristotle – “Anybody can become angry—that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way—that is not easy.”

Matthew Henry – “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured or as said: Anger is a sin that is its own punishment.”

Charles Spurgeon – “Unrighteous anger is like temporary insanity! I have no more right as a Christian to allow a bad temper to dwell in me than I have to let the devil himself live there.”

Dwight Pentecost – “When a mountain climber scales a mountain, he does not need a four-lane highway to allow him to get to the top. Climbers use the smallest foothold and inch-by-inch finger placement to gain victory over the mountain. In your life, Satan does not need a large opening, and you are not safe if there is the slightest foothold for him to begin inching his way to your defeat.”

Anonymous – “Don’t FLY into a rage unless you are prepared for a rough landing – The one thing that improves the longer it is KEPT is your temper.”

Let us strive to be Spirit-controlled instead of being controlled by our (flesh) emotions and have a magnificently anger-free Monday!

Galatians 5:16 – I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Have an anger-free day rejoicing in everything the love of God has provided for us!
