Anger Management
I’ve always stated in this devotional blog that I have a problem with anger. In this blog I counted 16 previous posts that mentioned anger.
It’s no coincidence that it’s a popular subject. Recently, Pastor Rick Warren had 6 Purpose Driven devotionals related to anger. Apparently it’s a common problem with people. It’s the #1 problem with our lives.
I jumped in conclusion too fast. I judged people too harshly. I didn’t listen very well.
It’s something I have to seriously deal with in my life. Obviously, I have to the exact opposite to control my anger.
I have to start thinking of other people first. I have to slow down and give others the benefit of a doubt. Most of all, I have to listen (not just hear) what others have to say.
The cost of anger is too high. I must be smart about it and control my anger.
Hot tempers cause arguments, but patience brings peace.
People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble.
People with a hot temper do foolish things; wiser people remain calm.
