 “Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.” (Ecclesiastes 7:9)

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, after Peter had dawn his sword and cut off the nearest ear, said, “Cool it, Peter”  Actually he said, “…all who draw the sword will die by the sword” but however it is translated, the meaning is clear “Anger is a five letter curse word.”

The Greeks have a word for anger. It is spelled r-a-c-a, and when properly pronounced sounds like the sound one make when clearing the throat just before spitting..   It is a graphic, rather crude, illustration, isn’t it?  But oh, such a beautiful description of this destructive emotion.

Anger may be only one of the seven sins but it is certainly the one most often practiced.  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.

Someone once said of Jesus, “He had to be divine.  No mortal man could have been that patient.”  Indeed, Jesus could not have loved so much if He had not been patient so often.
