March Madness—A Biblical Course in Anger Management: Maintenance
MARCH 30, 2019
Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?
Genesis 4:6
Genesis 4:6
Recommended Reading: Colossians 3:8-17
Rage rooms have opened in cities around the world. The first one opened in Japan around 2008, and since then they’ve popped up in cities everywhere. These are places where, for a fee, people can go to smash things, throw things, break things, and release their stress. In New York City, a special $95 couples package is available with two buckets of dishes and two electronic items they can smash.
Maybe there’s a better way to do the needed maintenance on your anger management. Here are some suggestions.
Confess your anger to God and ask Him to show you the roots of your rage. Apologize to those who have been on the receiving end of your anger. Read all you can on the subject of anger management because the more you learn about your emotions, the more likely you’ll be able to manage them wisely. Locate and memorize a handful of Bible verses on anger and quote them to yourself often. Finally, know when to get help. God can lead you to someone gifted with wisdom who can help you mature in your reactions to life.
This March, stop the madness and learn the power of spiritual patience and divine mercy.
Without mercy, all of us are without hope.
