Be Angry, But Don't Sin!

“And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,” Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭26

‬ ‭Have you ever been angry? I know I have over things that happen in life. Getting angry over things is just a part of life. Today is the second day of the Holy Week, today marks the day that Jesus walked into the temple and realized they were selling things out of it and He became angry and flipped the tables. See the Bible says "Be angry but do not sin." Even Jesus got angry as we see through these scriptures, and that is just how life is, but He did not ever sin, He was perfect. We are able to become angry over things because that is our emotions, and emotions are something we can't stop, but we have to choose to not sin although we are angry because that is in our control. The verse also says "do not let the sun go down while you are still angry", as in we should never go to bed angry. God has so many rules with anger because it is one of the top emotions that causes us to say things that we might not really mean. How many times have you heard someone say, "I just said that out of anger" I know I have a million times. See the enemy uses anger in each of us over many different things to get us to sin and say things to hurt others. Jesus never used His anger in that way, He never let anger control Him but He overcame it instead. We have to take control of our anger and not let it use us but instead take the anger we do have and use it for good. Today, if you become angry don't let it control you, instead use it for something good. Be like Jesus in every aspect of life and watch how He uses you! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭27‬ ‭ “Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.”Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭12‬ ‭ “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
