Friends, there are many things we cannot control: the weather, everything that happens to us (for the Bible tells us time and chance happens to us all – Ecc. 9:11), and what people think about us. However, one thing we can control is how we respond to the different scenarios that come our way, especially the people part. We can choose to react with the fruit of temperance (Gal. 5:23), and we can choose to allow the Holy Spirit to guide and guard our reaction when the flesh wants to do otherwise. The Word of God encourages us: “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city” (Proverbs 16:32).

“At Sunset”

anger-001

 

 

Rising high at noonday

And now reflecting as the day parts,

I have to ask myself once again

Do I have anger in my heart?

 

Fury, resentment, bitterness and rage

Have to quiet themselves at the disappearing rays.

Blowing tempests, harmful thoughts,

Into captivity these rogue ways are caught.

 

Troubled emotion into oblivion must fade,

It’s to the Lord’s command you must obey.

It’s time for the storms of the mind to rest

With healing and newness to come at sunset.
