Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

 

     What do you do with your anger?
      What about the times when the offense is so great you are sure you are justified?
      Well, the Bible says you must "put away your anger. . ." How is that done? It is done in prayer.
     The process is always costly, because our feelings are the most real thing the flesh has. In fact, the flesh has no existence or sustenance without feelings. So it screams and clamors through feelings, and insures its dominance using that method.
     When angry, the Soldier of the Cross must go to prayer and tell the Lord he will give up his rights in the situation so that Jesus can be revealed. There is no guarantee that when he gets up off his knees he will feel sweet toward the offender, but he will have done the right thing, and he will have done it by faith - just because God said!
     Then he will be able to see the Lord, and there will be Light to see what is beyond and under the offense. More importantly, the Soldier can be assured of the help of the Alongside One, because he has obeyed and stepped away from sin, as the Word has instructed him.
     Listen to me:
     It doesn't matter how down trodden you are, or how rotten the offender is. If God says let it go, there is a way.
     So, let it go!
