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!
