Who's angry??? Who lies??? Not me!!!!

Good morning everyone!!!! I hope this is a wonderful day for each and every one of you. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!! Please take a moment to pray for each person receiving this, each person who is on your church list, our pastors, leaders, nation, and most of all pray that you remain in God's will!!!
Yesterday we talked about Ephesians 4:23-24 and putting on your new nature. As you are a new creature in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!! Did you put on you new nature? Well, when reading this I felt the verses following were important to follow up with. Let's look at them.
Ephesians 4:25-27 "SO STOP TELLING LIES. LET US TELL OUR NEIGHBORS THE TRUTH, FOR WE ARE ALL PARTS OF THE SAME BODY.(26) aND 'DON'T SIN BY LETTING ANGER CONTROL YOU.' DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN WHILE YOU ARE STILL ANGRY, (270) FOR ANGER GIVES A FOOTHOLD TO THE DEVIL."
Wow!!! Pretty strong words!!!! So, don't tell lies....tell the truth!! If we lie to one another the trust deteriates, our unity breaks down, and conflicts arise. When we tell just one little white lie, we still lie and have to be ready to lie again to cover up the first little white lie. WHY??The truth never changes!! What?? Yes, the truth never changes!!!! A lie can tear apart the unity of churches and create warfare in the church. Yea says the devil as this is what he wants. Don't fall prey, do fall and pray!
The Bible does not teach against getting angry, as Christ was angry. What was Christ angry at? Yes, SIN!!! The Bible teaches us to handle our anger properly. If we vent our anger and frustration thoughtlessly we can hurt others, ourself, the church, and relationships fail quickly. However, we do need to be able to vent, but do so in a constructive way. If we hold something inside it will fester until we erupt as does a volcanoe and the ash will cover and damage many.
If we keep the anger inside and nurse it the devil enjoys this provides him an opportunity to divide us, cause strife, SOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........Wherever we are we need to begin mending our anger, our frustrations, but in a positive and constructive way that will keep us in step with our Lord Jesus Christ!!!
Thank you for listening....ur.....reading today. We all have anger but how we deal with it determines our path, keeping God first. Love you all!! Please be safe today, say a travel prayer, and take the Lord with you everywhere you go!!
In Christ's Love and Grace
