Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
—Ephesians 4:26-27 (KJV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Pent up anger is an explosion waiting to happen. Sooner or later, the pent up frustration will explode, either in our own life or into the life of someone else. Jesus taught us to forgive and to reconcile (Matthew 18). Anger must be dealt with. Otherwise, the devil will use it to abuse us as well as others in our lives. Don't give him a foothold in your life. If you give him an inch (2.54 cm), he'll take a mile (1.61 km)!
Today's ToGather video of our Verse of the Day challenges us to deal with the anger inside us. It also includes a Communion Devotional that is very powerful and a blessing that is appropriate for our struggle to control our anger and our words when we are angry. You can find the whole worship guide with songs at ToGather.church. Be blessed!
My Prayer...
Father in heaven, thank you for the ability to get angry at the things that anger you. Please help me channel that emotion in ways that are productive and help me to be repulsed at evil. Please stir my heart to reconciliation, especially when that anger is against one of your children. By the power of your Holy Spirit, help me to forgive as you have forgiven me. In the name of Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
