Thankful for the Holy Spirit’s Self Control!
Scripture reading for July 20th: Proverbs 25-29
Key Scriptures: Proverbs 29:11, 22 “A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.” . . .”An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.”
The proverbs give simple truths that stick in our hearts and provide wisdom for wise living. In these and other proverbs concerning anger, believers are warned against allowing anger to take over the spirit. It is foolish to allow our spirit to be consumed by anger because this consuming anger stirs up dissension in a person’s life, a family, a city and a nation. A reputation of being “hot-headed” marks a person as a trouble maker and warns that many sins flow from this character flaw. We see this in our nation today!
Thankful for the fruit of the Spirit: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) “”In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry and give the devil a foothold.” (Ephesians 4:27-28)
