Proverbs 14:29
New Living Translation (NLT)
29 People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.
A quick temper can be like a fire out of control. It can burn us and everyone in its path. Anger divides people. It pushes us into hasty decisions that only cause bitterness and guilt. Yet anger, in itself is not wrong. Anger can be a legitimate reaction to injustice and sin. When you feel yourself getting angry, look for the cause. Are you reacting to an evil situation that you are going to set right? Or are you responding selfishly to a personal insult? Pray that God will help you control your quick temper, channeling your feelings into effective action through humility and repentance.
