Thought for Meditation
Yes, there is a righteous, Spirit-filled anger.
Yet any anger (even the smallest measure) that is motivated by selfishness is sinful anger,
and by its very nature it cannot and will not produce God's righteousness
in our communication, in our choices, or in our conduct.
Furthermore, such anger cannot and will not produce God's righteousness
in our testimony for Christ or in our influence upon others.
James 1:20
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Proverbs 14:29
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:
but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
Proverbs 15:18
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Proverbs 27:4
Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
Proverbs 29:22
An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
