The beginning of strife is like releasing water; therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts. —
Proverbs 17:14
|
The newspaper reported a tragic incident of violence
that took place in an American country. A peasant
killed his best friend while they were arguing about
political differences. When asked why he did it, he
replied with these chilling words: “We began
peacefully, and then we argued. I killed him when I
ran out of words.”

This tragedy calls to mind Jesus’ teaching
in Matthew 5 about the close connection
between anger and murder. First He stressed
the seriousness of anger (vv.21-22). He
warned that malicious anger, like murder,
would be punished by God. Then He gave
practical advice designed to defuse anger in
a person who has something against another
(vv.23-26).
We should all take a close look at our inner
rage. We might think we can control it.
Unfortunately, though, our feelings of
hostility often control us and cause us to
do things we would never do while thinking
clearly. That’s why unresolved anger needs
to be seen as a time-bomb that can explode,
destroying ourselves and doing irreparable
damage to others. True, not all anger is
wrong. But all wrong anger needs to be
acknowledged and confessed before it leads
to “murder.”

Reflect & Pray
When I have lost my temper,
I've lost my reason too;
I'm never proud of anything
Which angrily I do. —Jackson
He who conquers his anger conquers a strong
enemy.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.

Dear Lord, You bless me in
more ways than I can count. Thank You for Your love for
me.
When you think of all that’s good, give thanks to God.
