Anger

I'm ashamed to say that I let anger get the best of me on Friday and Saturday. I had something come up the last minute at work on Friday and had to leave like 3 minutes later than normal (big deal right?). And saturday mine and my husbands plans were ruined due to him working. I got so mad and was ugly to him all day. What I failed to realize was it wasn't his fault at all, nor mine. Instead of getting mad I should have been thankful that he was just earning extra money even though he was lied to about how long it would take. I also realized that my anger wasn't just anger it was stemming from my selfishness, which is a sin. Galatians 5:19-21 19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. I have to ask God to help me remove this sin and hindrance from my life. Me being upset and mad all weekend got me nowhere. In my small group tonight our leader taught us about Solomon, the wisest man that God has ever created and ever will be created. In Ecclesiastes Solomon teaches us that everything without God is meaningless. God gave me a beautiful Friday afternoon and one Saturday but I made it meaningless by separating myself from Him just so I could be selfish and angry, meaningless. If I would have put the time into studying and reading His word instead of being angry and selfish, God only knows what amazing things would have happened and great times I would have spent with my Father. That realization broke my heart. I'm glad it broke my heart. I don't ever want to feel that way again.

Always think about what your losing when u chose anger.
