Proverbs 19:19

A man of neat wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou evangelize him, even so thou must do it again.

Play Sound:

Some people cannot stay out of disharmonize or trouble. Every fourth dimension yous plow around, they are in a squabble or fight with someone else. If you lot help them go out of one mess, they quickly get into another. They have hot tempers and unruled spirits, so there is no hope for them. They will have a life of trouble, ruin their relationships, and and then die solitary.

The lessons are elementary. First, if you do non rule your anger, God and men volition punish you for your temper. A wise man will confess his angry spirit, beg God to aid him, and obey the proverbs about anger. Second, if you help a person with a bad temper, you volition be helping him over again next calendar month, for he cannot learn to go along with others. His selfish spirit and hot atmosphere will explode once again against some little offence, real or perceived.

Neither acrimony nor a temper is noble. It is not a sign of manliness or authority. Information technology is not the testify of a strong man – it is the proof of a weak fool (Eccl 7:9). A great human rules his spirit and controls his acrimony; fools are ruled past their spirits and controlled by their anger. Wrath is blinding and binding, so that helping a quick-tempered man out of problem caused by his anger volition not protect him for long; he will sin over again by acrimony very soon.

Wrath is violent anger. It is the emotional volcano that erupts in a fool's heart when he is offended or does non get his manner. It is a terrible evil. It leads to many sins of thought, spoken language, and action. Jesus knew it was at the root of murder, so He condemned unjustified anger as murder in God'due south sight (Matt 5:21-22). A man with a temper will exist guilty of many sins (Pr ten:12; 12:16; 14:17; 15:18; 17:19; 22:24-25; 26:21; 29:22; 30:33).

If a man has not learned to rule his spirit, yous must rescue him over and over once more from the trouble his acrimony causes (Pr 27:3). He is a burden to deal with, because yous must exist constantly covering or correcting his foolish passions. Delivering him today from a mess his acrimony acquired will not help you tomorrow – he will do it again. A wise human avoids angry men, because they are by and large trouble as friends (Pr thirteen:20; 21:24; 22:24-25; 29:22).

Learn to hate acrimony, for it is unmanageable (Pr 27:3-iv). Information technology is a work of your sinful flesh and erstwhile man, not the new man of a kid of God (Eph four:31; Col 3:8). Slow your passions down, peculiarly anger (Pr 16:32). Glorious men postpone acrimony (Pr 19:11). Only fools let it fly (Ec 7:9). Learn to go over acrimony quickly and end conflicts, for unresolved anger gives place to the devil (Eph 4:26-27). Exalt mercy instead (Pr 3:3; 21:iii; Micah six:viii).

Learn to love, which is God's greatest grace toward you, and the greatest grace you tin can show others (I Cor 13:four-7,13). It is the greatest testify of eternal life and God's presence in your life. Honey teaches and empowers you lot to carry, endure, and suffer for a long time; it teaches you to not be easily provoked. God is honey. Exercise you know God (I John 4:seven-eight,16)? If you know God, you will show dear rather than anger to others in life.
