We've all heard the saying, "don't get mad, get even". Well, how about this? Don't do either. Anger robs you of the joy of the Christian life. On the other hand, being quick to forgive helps you defeat your angry feelings. Ask God for His strength to swap your anger for His joy.
James 1:19-20 - Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Ecclesiastes 7:9 - Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.
Philippians 2:14 - Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Romans 12:19 - Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Proverbs 17:14 - The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
Proverbs 19:19 - A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
Psalm 37:8 - Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
