The Better Way

Proverbs 16:30, I Corinthians 9:24-27, Ephesians 6:26-31, James 1:19-20

There are times and situations that lead a person to a quick display of anger in words spoken or actions done. However, this usually leads to more trouble and problems as others are:

• Hurt

• Irritated

• Embarrassed

• Confronted

• Exposed

This may seem like it is the thing to do but obeying what the Lord instructs in the Bible is best for:

• God is working in all situations

• God has a time and a place

• God will judge all people someday

• God knows all things

• God blesses and leads His children

The better way is God’s way. Humanly a person may want to lash out or respond in anger at the moment. However, it is better to trust God and wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31).

Prayer: Lord, give me grace and courage to do Your will in all my encounters.
