Anger

“Ecclesiastes 7:9”

 - “Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools."

“Proverbs 14:17; 19:11”

(v.17) He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated...

(v.11) The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

“Ephesians 4:26-27”

 - “26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.”

I remember a time that happened not too long ago, a few weeks ago. Where anger took a hold of me and cloud all my emotions. My emotions and attituded were immature and unbecoming of me. In the moment of I was angry, annoyed, frustrated, even you could say hostile, and enraged. In the moment, I could have said many hurtful damaging words. I stopped and controlled myself and all my emotions. I kept myself in control of all my emotions, called upon God and the wisdom and the strength that he gives.

I allowed the other person to keep yelling. I saw that yelling or scream or being all angry would get anything done or get the situation resolved. Also, in the heat of the moment I took a breath, and I remembered Ecclesiastes 7:9 “Do not quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools,” I wasn’t going to be a fool but a righteous godly man not to be quickly provoked to anger, but to relie on God and he delivered me from that situation. I pray that all don’t come to being provoked and becoming a fool to anger. God Loves You and is always with you and will always sustain you. “GOD BLESS YOU All!!!!”

There are many different spectrums of anger. Annoyance, irritation, and frustration are all anger on a smaller scale — while feeling furious or enraged covers the other extreme.

It’s also possible to experience more than one feeling at once. “A lot of times, there are a lot of feelings going on besides anger.” You may feel disappointed or overwhelmed at the same time that you’re angry.

“Anger is the emotional component of the fight-or-flight response.” That means when you’re angry, your autonomic nervous system activates and your heart rate increases, muscles tense, and adrenaline releases throughout your body.

This is all normal and healthy, but if your body is stuck in this state for too long or too often, anger could lead to problems for your health and well-being. Here are some of the potential consequences of feeling angry over time.

There have been studies that say right after an angry episode, you’re at an increased risk of a heart attack and stroke. Research also links angry outbursts to higher blood pressure, particularly for certain groups, including older men of color and white males in the United States. Heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure all put pressure on your heart, meaning anger can harm your heart over time.

If anger carries a lot of health risks, does it mean you should try to eliminate it? Not at all. “Anger is a normal human emotion — there’s no reason to get rid of it.” The key is to manage anger in ways that are healthy and safe. "

Anger is a basic human emotion characterized by antagonism towards someone or something that has deliberately wronged you.

Angry is an adjective describing the emotional state of feeling or showing anger.

Anger is not good for you, at least not in its typical form…………

“The huge question isn’t who gets angry, but why we all get angry?”

“We can all face our corruption with a bold sorrow. Jesus Christ Himself has paid the price for that disordered LOVE.”

We are grieved into repentance (2 Corinthians 7:9-10). We all come to a crossroad, turn and we say, no more, Lord please, no more. When are eyes are opened to see and savior Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6), when we’re overcome by His grace (2 Corinthians 8:8-9), then we’re led to love him more than anything - and so increasingly care about the things that matter and grow in not becoming angry when we shouldn’t be.

Ecclesiastes 7:9, This verse warns against being quick to anger and prideful. It also implies that anger is a sign of foolishness and impatience, and that it can lead to disaster and sin. It also suggests that anger can be directed against God and His ways which is a form of rebellion and unbelief. Be humble, patient, and to fear God and keep His commandments.

Anger and impatience: it warns against harboring anger in our hearts. When we react impatiently or explode in anger over minor irritations, it reveals a lack of self-control and a weak character. Such unrighteous anger is foolish.

We should seek to live godly lives honoring our Heavenly Father and consecrating each moment to Him.

The verse encourages us to avoid unrighteous anger and recognize the importance of God in our lives. Let’s strive for wisdom and self-control, rather than allowing anger, annoyance, frustration, hostility, and rage to reside within us.

Applying the wisdom that Ecclesiastes 7:9 to our lives, involves cultivating patience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence.

Some steps you and I can take:

  - self- reflection    - count to ten         -empathy     -communication    and

- forgiveness.

I also want us to remember, wisdom is not just theoretical knowledge; It’s about living out principles in everyday life. We can try to apply these steps consistently, and you’ll find greater peace and understanding.

The Hebrew word “kahas” is translated as the word “anger.” Anger felt against our own sin is good as it leads to repentance, while anger against God and His dealing condemned.

When the peace of our minds is lashed with anger, torn and rent, as it were. It's thrown into confusion, so that it's not in harmony with itself, and loses the force of the inward likeness. Anger wisdom is parted with, so that we are left holly in ignorance what to do; anger resteth in the bosom of a fool; in this way that it with draws the light of understanding while by agitating it troubles the mind.

Anger can be exhibited in many forms, from silent disdain or the smoldering of a hidden grudge, to an explosion of expletives or the eruption of nonsensical behavior- the Bible clearly states that:

“Anger is hidden in the heart of fools.”

Let us seek to eschew all evil and live godly lives during our time on earth and let us endeavor to reverence our Heavenly Father and ensure that every moment of our life is consecrated to the honor of his name.

“God Almighty Father, help us to prevent us from nourishing foolish anger in our hearts. May you help us or to endow us with Godly wisdom and a gracious spirit so that I may reflect the beauty of Jesus in our lives and be a witness to your goodness and grace, to Your praise and godly. In the beautiful name of my Lord Jesus Christ

I pray Amen.”

“GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!”
