There seems to be a lot of anger in the world. Anger, like most emotions, can be contagious and spread quickly. If you’re not careful, it can creep into your heart before you even notice. As followers of Christ, we are expected not to match the negativity of the world. Instead, we can respond with patience and remain calm. Be positive and pray. God is not surprised by what’s happening in the world. One of the best things we can do is remain close to him. He will steady our spirit and give us the peace we need to remain calm. God reminds us that love is the answer for dealing with anger.
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:19-20
