When you feel angry

“Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.” (Eccles. 7:9 ESV)

Anger: a strong feeling of displeasure aroused by injury, injustice, wrong, etc.; wrath; ire. 

Even Jesus got angry

During His sinless life Jesus expressed righteous indignation with those who desecrated the temple of God, (John 2:15-7), with injustice, with hypocrisy and with hard heartedness.

“… After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.” (Mark 3:4-6)

Take care of anger quickly

“In your anger do not sin” Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” (Eph. 4:26-27 NIV) 

Be slow to anger

“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” (James 1:19:20 ESV)

“Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.” (Prov. 15:11 ESV)

“The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.” (Prov. 12:16 ESV)

Therefore…

“Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”  (Prov. 16:22 ESV)

“Do not say, "I cannot help having a bad temper." Friend, you must help it. Pray to God to help you overcome it at once, for either you must kill it, or it will kill you. You cannot carry a bad temper into heaven.” - Charles Spurgeon
