i choose god over anger

1/28/2016

I have a temper and a passion for justice. This has too often lead to me jumping on my proverbial white horse and charging off to create change. Sometimes that energy and passion have helped me do good things, but other times my lack of understanding or belief that someone else needs what I would want in a given situation, has cause pain I never intended.

The biggest problem in charging off in anger is that anger feeds self-righteousness over righteousness and impulsiveness over clear-headed planning. And the thing that transforms anger is God. Prayer is a big help and so is listening to praise music or a favorite hymn or reading psalms and other parts of the Bible or calling someone whose judgement I trust to help "talk me off the ledge."

I can affirm with confidence and hope:  I CHOOSE GOD OVER ANGER

​Psalms 37: 8  Let go of anger and leave rage behind! 
Don’t get upset—it will only lead to evil.
