Anger Management

Read:
James 4:1-6

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure? -James 4:1

Bible In One Year: Numbers 28-30

cover In James 4, the writer swung his axe at the root of one of our deepest problems: a smothering absorption with our own desires-getting our own way and having our own needs met. When that passion is frustrated, it can quickly become blind rage that demeans others and debases us. Though we may get what we want, we're left feeling unsatisfied.

It's better to ask God to meet our needs with His hands, in His time, in His way; to yield our will to His control, and pray as Jesus did, "Not My will, but Yours, be done" (Luke 22:42).

It does no good to brood over injustices, to try to set things right on our own, or to let our lustful desires determine our decisions. Submitting to our own desire for pleasure will lead to "wars and fights" inside us and with those around us (James 4:1).

Before our anger peaks, we can call for a "time out" and take a walk with the One who understands us better than we understand ourselves-who cares for us more than we can ever know. We can tell Him about our anger and mull things over with Him.

We can ask God to meet our needs His way, for as James said, He gives "more grace" (v.6)-a gift far greater than anything we can manage on our own. -David Roper

When anger lingers in our hearts,
It poisons all we think and do;
But faith seeks ways to show God's love
And keeps our spirit strong and true. -D. De Haan

For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

Religious History
1570 Elizabeth I of England was excommunicated by Pope Pius V for her severe persecution of Roman Catholics in England. (It was the last such judgment made against a reigning monarch by any pope.)
1738 English revivalist George Whitefield wrote in a letter: 'God, I find, has a people everywhere; Christ has a flock, though but a little flock, in all places.'
1824 The Baptist General Tract Society was organized in Washington, D.C. In 1826 the society was moved to Philadelphia, and by 1840, the organization had issued over 3.5 million copies of 162 different tracts.
1902 Birth of Oscar Cullmann, German New Testament scholar. Best known for pioneering a "salvation history" view of the NT, Cullmann's two best-known publications were "Christ and Time" (1946) and "Christology of the New Testament" (1959).
1913 Pioneer missionary Eduard L. Arndt first arrived in Shanghai, China, 10 months after having founded the Evangelical Lutheran Missions for China. He afterward established missions and schools in the Hankow territory, and translated hymns and sermons into Chinese. (In 1917 the Missouri Synod took over the ELMS mission.)
