Are you a person of calm temperament? Slow to anger?
The Bible has a lot to say about being slow to anger. “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.” (Psalm 103:8) I found 52 (could be more) verses that talk about this subject. Not one of them said don’t be angry.
Anger is a reality in daily life, however, we should think through the best response. Perhaps, even, we should not respond at all. Slowing down and thinking through the possibilities is the better way. After all, it is God’s way.
Abba, Father, control our responses to life’s situations. Let our words be gracious, kind, and supportive.
First things first… God cares so much that He sent His One and Only Son to die for us. That’s how much He cares. (John 3:16)
He guards our hearts and minds and gives us peace that is beyond our understanding. (Philippians 4:7)
Every detail of our lives, every moment of our lives, is in His control. He knows every need, want, and desire. Because of His great love for us, He wants us to have what is best for us.
GOD is striding ahead of you. He walks proudly, with importance in His step, carrying the banner that identifies me as part of His family. He’s covering every second, every nuance of this day. Psalm 139
He’s right there with you. Not just ahead but in front, back, sides, up and down. In my mind, my heart, my soul. He has all of me. He’s covering every second, every nuance of this day. Isaiah 41:10
He won’t let you down. He keeps all of His promises, faithfully. He never fails us.Psalm 145:13
Don’t be intimidated. There are bullies and controllers everywhere, including our inner minds! Stop listening to them. Only God is worth consistently listening to! Deuteronomy 13:6
Don’t worry! Just stop letting whatever is bothering you have such control. God is in control. He has it all covered. Matthew 19:26
