My brothers and sisters, let us delve into the sacred scriptures to understand the profound wisdom bestowed upon us by the Almighty. In the holy book, we are reminded of the righteous path to walk, which includes facing moments of anger and passion.
anger, in itself, is not inherently sinful, for even our Lord Jesus showed righteous anger when he drove out the merchants from the temple. It is not the emotion of anger that is sinful, but rather what we choose to do with it.
When we feel anger rising within us, we must be vigilant not to let it consume our hearts and lead us astray. For in our anger, we may be tempted to speak harshly, act out violently, or nurture grudges. These are the ways that sin can take hold of our hearts.
However, our Heavenly Father has bestowed upon us the power of self-control and wisdom to deal with our anger righteously. We must turn to Him in prayer and seek His guidance, for through His divine grace, we can transform our anger into a force of righteousness.
Let us remember the example set by Joseph, who, when faced with his brother’s betrayal and mistreatment, could have lashed out in anger. Instead, he forgave them, showing us the strength of forgiveness and love.
Therefore, my beloved, when anger arises within you, do not let it fester into sin. Instead, turn to the Lord, seek His counsel, and allow His spirit to guide your actions. May we be quick to listen, slow to anger, and abounding in love and mercy, just as our Heavenly Father is towards us. In doing so, we honor the divine wisdom and walk on the righteous path laid before us. May the peace of God reign in our hearts, now and forever. Amen.
