An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins. Proverbs 29:22
What do you get angry at? What really frosts you? All too often we get upset over the 'minorest' of things. Another driver. Kids spilling something. Spouse buying something you can't afford. Clerks that don't understand your problem. Long lines at the store. Other drivers. Would you admit that these are minor?
Instead, there are a great number of things that should really frost us over: the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries (Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia come to mind), largely ignored atrocities that United Nations workers commit in African countries, 4000 children aborted daily in the United States, and a one-sided media that seems to always protect the bad guys.
I know, I've laid out a grim picture, but I've tried not to be too graphic. Unfortunately, it's the world we live in right now. Continue to pray for those Christians in Muslim lands. Pray also for those who are called to protest the abortion clinics across the world.
And about getting angry at the other driver? Relax, in a week or so he'll be getting mad at your driving skills!
You’re already p*ssing me off with your comment...:^)
I used a single quotation mark for a reason. Otherwise, you’d think I’m an ignore Amos or something.
