Be Angry and Sin Not

All of us experience anger at different times. It’s a part of life—it’s a God-given emotion that signals we are being mistreated or something’s just not right. However, like any emotion, if it’s not managed properly, it can get out of control and become destructive. But with God’s help, we can learn how to deal with our feelings and walk in His peace.

I’ll never forget one morning about 25 years ago. I was preparing to go preach at a ladies meeting at my church in St. Louis when my husband, Dave, and I got into an argument. I admit, I was really mad!

I continued to think angry thoughts and have angry feelings. Then my anger turned into guilt, and I thought, How can I go and tell others how to conduct their lives according to Scripture if I cannot control my anger?

The feelings of guilt not only continued but they intensified. As the pressure mounted, I started to feel almost frantic when suddenly God spoke to my heart and said, “Anger is not a sin—it is what you do with it that becomes sin.”

Dealing with Anger…God’s Way

God is bigger than our feelings and He has given us self-control so we can walk in peace and experience His perfect love when we need it the most. READ MORE

Tip from Joyce

“It’s so important to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy. Losing your cool makes you tired. Getting angry a lot affects your health.”
—Joyce

Study Suggestion

Through His Word, God reveals that not all anger is necessarily wrong. Righteous anger comes when something we see as an offense against God and His Word. Consider the following scriptures:

James 1:19, James 1:20, Proverbs 29:11, Ecclesiastes 7:9

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
