Restraining Anger Proverbs 19:11

Good morning everyone!!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ. Yesterday the topic was anger, today, why should we restrain our anger? If I ammad, I want to get it off my chest and by golly I am going to let you know how Ifeel. Well..........Proverbs 19:11 "PEOPLE WITH GOOD SENSE RESTRAIN THEIR ANGER;THEY EARN ESTEEM BY OVERLOOKING WRONGS." So, you are saying we must 'look the other way'; pretend like it never happened. No, not at all, just saying we show restraint......we don't have to jump up inanger at things that don't go right. Proverbs 29:11 "A fool gives full vent toanger, but a wise person quietly holds it back." There is a time to correct. Many times after the anger cools then the fires ofconflict can be more easily resolved. Very seldom will you regret holding yourtemper and your character will be stronger and will be noticed moreso by doingso. Proverbs 29:11 is paraphrased by Abe Lincoln; it is better to be thought afool than open your mouth and remove all doubt. How true is that? Proverbs 15:1 "A GENTLE ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH BUT HARSH WORDS STIR UP ANGER." Psalm 103:8 "The Lord is merciful and gracious; he is slow to get angry and fullof unfailing love." May your day be filled with love, mercy, and grace. Stop in trying areas,breathe, and try not to be provoked to anger. Thank you for reading. Love youall. Have a super day in Jesus Christ our Lord!!!!In Christ's Love and GraceJohnny
