Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger resides in the bosom of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9
Anger that lingers, festers into hatred and revenge. Anger is not like a single shot revolver. It acts like a machine gun. Once we pull the trigger, we can quickly lose control. James said the anger of man will not achieve the righteousness of God. So whether we call in anger or righteous indignation, only a fool hangs on to it. If we have a "knee jerk" reaction to anger, it is time to "nip it". Let's get it before it gets us.
