Saturday, May 23, Anger

I have an anger problem. It has cost me dearly over the years. I actually broke my hand in a fit of anger a number of years ago. Pretty stupid, but uncontrolled anger gets one into trouble and is with out a doubt sin. Anger almost cost me my job at one point in my life and I sought professional counseling to help me learn to control it. While some of the issue at that time turned out to be a side affect of diabetes, it was still something I needed to learn to control. With the counseling and daily devotional study, I turned my life back over to Christ and He has helped me immensely over the past few years. My wife and kids have noticed a difference. I can still feel it boiling up at times, especially when I miss my daily devotional. God is faithful, but I must do my part by placing myself in His hands daily and avoiding those things that trigger my anger the most.
