Ephesians 4:26-27 encourages believers not to let anger linger but to address it promptly: “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.” This passage emphasizes the need to resolve conflicts and not let anger fester. Like a wound that gets infected and then causes us more and more pain, our anger especially when it is not addressed with the wisdom of God’s word can cause much harm. It can lead to the break-up of friendships, marriages, parent child relationships and much more. In these next few days as you walk with God we hope that these devotional readings will be the guidance that you need to address this silent “cancer” that festers in our soul. By following these teachings, we hope that you will be able to cultivate a spirit of forgiveness, understanding and patience as you interact with others.
