Good morning! How are we faithing? We've heard it before that we should not make decisions while ticked off because we are not thinking right. I've also dealt with people who act in what they deem as "righteous indignation" as so have you I'm sure. Most of those people I've dealt with have anger issues and the root problem isn't what they are pointing out. Not sinning in our anger can be very hard. Who has said something while ticked off only to regret it later? Training oneself to pause and pray quickly when they get mad is a exercise in love and grace. Jesus himself got angry at the merchants at the Synagogue but acted righteously. He controlled the anger, not the other way around. Not dealing with anger can also plant seeds of bitterness so squashing it down isn't beneficial either. The fine line of action vs reaction when angry takes much concentration and trust. If we follow the Word's way and leave the consequences to God we do indeed become more stable in peace and in turmoil.
Eph 4:26-27
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
Eph 4:26-27
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
Eph 4:30-31
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

Heavenly Father,
Help us see truth when we get mad. Help us remember your Word so we do not act incorrectly. Lord we desire to live according to your Word but man, it's hard sometimes, especially when we get stepped on. Help us always be mindful of our mission in this life and to remember to show love and grace to all. In Jesus name, amen
