A reminder for
today
And "don't sin by
letting anger control you." Don't let the sun go down while you are still
angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.(Ephesians 4:26-27)
Anger, anger is one of the easiest ways the devil can get a
grip in your life and one that he can use over and over again. To think of it
anger is such a waste of energy. You get angry and in most cases you cannot
change it. You see it in traffic as people get angry at other and you see it at
work when people’s opinions differ from each other and you see it at home when
loved ones get upset at each other. Then you shout and fight and in the end you
break more than what you fix. This is something I struggled with for a long
time and from time to time I still get very upset. At then end I always realize
that it was just the wrong way of doing it and a calmer approach would have
been much more successful. In most cases we get angry because we see only our side
and everything is all about our discomfort and loss. Our time was wasted and our
idea was better and our space was used. Me me me and me. We never take a moment
to love first and fight last. We always fight first and then we try and fix it
by love.
This is a little bit like trying to build a house by putting
up the roof first. It just does not work. But it is not your fault, because
that is how this world teach it to us. This is the norm and this how everyone
else does it. We see it in our colleagues and we even see it on TV. What is your
fault is that you know Jesus did it differently and yet you follow the world.
So today I want you to try and put yourself second and take
a moment to think before you act.
Lord, I pray that you will give us wisdom to do life looking
at your example and not this world. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
