“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath: Neither give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26-27).
Even the strongest in the faith have to let off steam. However, if or when our anger gets out of control, this creates another heart problem. It might even spill over into a physical one.
We’re familiar with the story of Jesus clearing the temple. Was He angry? Sure He was. He had every right to be. How could He ignore what was happening to His Father’s house? He took care of the situation and that was the end of that. Can we deal with matters that anger us and let them go?
Often times we don’t function that way. The sun goes down and we’re still angry. If we haven’t learned to turn everything over to God, we are going to suffer a heart attack—the attack of Satan who stands ready to laugh when we fall down. Heed the words in today’s Scripture and don’t let the devil win.
