ANGER RESTS IN THE BOSOM OF FOOLS
Ecclesiastes 7:1-12
ANGER RESTS IN THE BOSOM OF FOOLS
"Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools" (v.9).
Anger is a destroyer of destiny; it worked against Moses and prevented him from entering into the promised Land. A man who is always angry cannot express love of God meaningfully. The Bible confronts us this day that anger rests in the bosom of fools. Anger is so destructive to the extent that it can rob one of entering into the Kingdom of God (Galatians 5:20). A man who is given to anger can destroy in a minute what was built in fifty years or more.
Beloved, there are cases of people who in the heat of their anger, killed their family members, friends or colleagues at work. Some have torn friendship of many years apart while some others have broken long existing fellowships. There are cases of children who maim or kill their parents and some deliberately destroy property bequeathed to them by their forebears. Anger is terrible only a foolish man will entertain it. The Bible says
"Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath" (Ephesians 4:26).
As a child of God, do not let the devil rob you of your destiny through uncontrolled anger. Be aware that anger is a weapon of destruction in the hands of the enemy. May the Lord give you grace to overcome it.
PRAYER: Dear Father in heaven, I ask You for grace to do away with anger completely, in Jesus Name. Amen.
