The Word of God speaks much about fools and the overriding consensus in the sight of God is that fools are indeed foolhardy. Even when they consider themselves to be wise. When the world applauds their godless 'wisdom' they remain fools! The caution in this verse is not to fly into an angry rage or react negatively to some incident in resentment or pique. It is a warning that highlights the danger of nursing anger in our breast or flying into a fit of rage... from which we can all learn a valuable lesson. Such unrighteous anger reveals a lack of self-control and it exposes a decidedly weak character and an ungodly attitude. Anger can be exhibited in many forms, from silent disdain or the smoldering of a hidden grudge, to an explosion of expletives or the eruption of nonsensical behavior. Let Us Refrain From Unrighteous Anger that lodges in the hearts of fools and worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and may it be the deep desire of our heart to do all to the honor of His name. Ecclesiastes 7:9 Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, prevent us from nursing foolish anger in our hearts. Endow us with godly wisdom and gracious spirits so that we may reflect the beauty of Jesus in our lives and be witnesses to Your goodness and grace, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
