Day 1 – The Gift of Anger
Scripture: “Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” – Ephesians 4:26
Reflection:
Anger is not always sinful—it’s an emotion given by God. Gary Chapman explains that anger can reveal our deepest values and what we believe is right or wrong. The danger is not in the emotion itself, but in how we express it. Anger becomes destructive when it controls us instead of us controlling it.
Application:
Pause and ask yourself: Why am I angry? Is it because of genuine injustice, or because of personal inconvenience or pride? Naming the source is the first step toward using anger redemptively.
Challenge:
The next time you feel angry, stop and write down the reason. Ask: Is this righteous or selfish anger? Pray over it before responding.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for giving me emotions, even anger. Help me to understand its source and express it in a way that honors You. Amen.
