Uncontrollable Anger is Bad
Uncontrollable Anger is Bad
Devotion by Pastor Redd
June 23, 2025
Misplaced anger can lead to feelings of separation and distance from those we care about the most. When we allow our anger to take control, we often push away our loved ones, and in response, we may find that the anger we project returns to us, leaving behind a sense of indifference and loneliness.
As Proverbs 15:1 tells us, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." When we lose our temper, we risk losing much more than just a moment of peace. We may jeopardize our reputation, our jobs, our relationships with our children, and even the love of our spouses.
Ultimately, the cost of uncontrolled anger is far too high. Instead, let us yield to the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit to practice patience and understanding, as encouraged in Ephesians 4:26-27, which says, "In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold." By managing our emotions and responding with grace, we can foster deeper connections and maintain the love we cherish.
