THE ANGLE OF YOUR WRANGLE

In the spring of 1894, the Baltimore Orioles baseball team was playing in Boston. Halfway through the game, an Orioles player, John McGraw, got into a first class fight with Boston’s third baseman.

Soon, all the players on both teams exploded onto the field and fists began to fly. Soon the fight spread to the stands. Then someone set the stands on fire. The fire spread – when it was over 107 buildings in Boston lay in ashes.

Ecclesiastes 7:9 explains what really happened, “Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.”

To find anger is to lose reason. It paves the way for many regrets and continuous acts of foolishness. One can seldom be proud of what they say or do when angry.

The book of Proverbs puts it this way: “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls.”

“Daddy,” the little boy asked, “How does war start?” “Well,” answered his daddy, “In World War I the Germans marched into Belgium and…” His wife interrupted, “You’re wrong. The Archduke was assassinated. You’ve got the wrong war.”

“Who did our son ask? Just shut up and stay out of this.” Now his wife was beginning to steam, “If you weren’t so dumb I wouldn’t have had to say anything.” As their anger escalated the little boy broke in, “You don’t have to say any more. I have the answer.”

Will Rodgers once commented, “Anyone who flies off in a rage is going to have a very rocky landing.
“If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.” Proberbs 25:8
