Thought of the day
In the book of Proverbs we find many profound truths, that when applied to our lives, will bring great victories. This verse about anger is one such truth. To experience anger is not sinful, as the Bible says that God Himself is angry about certain things. Anger is an emotion that every human being experiences at times. In fact, we should be angry when we see injustice and ill treatment toward human beings. God is angry when He sees the things that sinful people commit, that bring sorrow and tragedy to others who are innocent. He never wanted humans to kill one another or to exploit one another. The sin is not in experiencing anger, but rather in how we deal with it. We can turn our anger into prayer, which in turn can change the things we see that are wrong.
If we allow our anger to turn into vindictiveness and we practice the same kind of evil that was sent our way, then we become just as guilty as the one who we are angry at. We are told in scripture that we are to overcome evil with good and not to render evil for evil.
