Getting good and madEph. 4:26-27
WHEN ANGRY, [agitated in your mind with a desire or purpose of revenge]
DO NOT SIN; [do not carry out your vengeance]
do not ever let your wrath (your irritation and exasperation, your fury or indignation)
last until the sun goes down. [when the day is done, make sure your spirit is quiet]
Leave no such room or foothold for the devil. [give no opportunity for him to influence your mind and irritate your spirit, exploit your testimony or dishonor the Lord's name]
------------------------
Pray the Word:
Lord, help us in those moments when we’re GOOD AND MAD to be able to let our anger be a brief emotion and very soon dismissed. We know that if we allow our agitations to stay in our mind, they will develop into bad feelings, hatred, or revenge - all of which will rip away our peace of mind, destroy our witness for You and can, ultimately, break our relationship with You.
