Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.
How we react to situations can tell people whether we have understanding or are just displaying folly, so it matters how we react. Not only that, but every reaction has an outcome.
Proverbs 14:29 (ESV): “Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.”
We talked about being “slow to anger” yesterday, and I am bringing it back today because it is very important for us to have patience when dealing with anger. As we can see, hasty temper is one of the things that precedes folly. It’s sad that some people even boast about having hasty tempers, claiming that others don’t mess with them. But what if the reason people keep their distance from you is because that temper of yours destroys everything around it?
Takeaway: Today you must choose for yourself: do you want to have great understanding or display folly (foolishness)?
Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
Hallelujah Sir; I want to have great understanding
Ephesians 4:26 (KJV) states: “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath”. This verse advises against allowing anger to fester and turn into sin, urging believers to deal with anger quickly and constructively.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
“Be ye angry, and sin not”:
This part acknowledges that anger is a natural human emotion, but it cautions against letting it lead to sinful behavior.
“Let not the sun go down upon your wrath”:
This emphasizes the importance of resolving anger quickly and not allowing it to fester into bitterness or resentment.
