Ephesians 4:26-27

Mighty Servants of God. People often react hastily or in anger, especially when difficulties fuel their anger. Yet God calls us to respond differently than the world. Scripture tells us that we are not to sin in our anger, so it must be possible. What does responding to anger like Jesus does look like? Could it be taking a moment to assess the situation? Could it be prayer to seek God and His perspective? Could it involve speaking the truth in love? What does it look like for you to respond to other people and situations in humility and God-confidence?

In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. – Ephesians 4:26-27

Prayer: Jesus, teach me to respond to difficulties as You do. Let my motivations and actions reflect humility and God-confidence. May Your ongoing transformation happening within me be evident in my words and attitudes, especially in my anger. In Your name, amen.
