Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
Ephesians 4:26-27
Do Not Sin in Your Anger
Being angry is a human emotion. It was given by God and is a natural reaction when we are provoked. However, Paul tells us in these verses not to sin when we are angry. When we are angry, we are to make things right and not let the sun go down on our anger. In other words, make things right in the moment. Give no opportunity to the devil or he will cause division. He loves to create bitterness in someone and let it tear them apart.
Is there someone you need to reconcile with today? Do not let the sun go down in your anger, but give love and truth an opportunity to reign in your relationships.
A Prayer to Remember
Dear Lord,
Help me not give the devil a foothold. May I honor you with my emotions. Amen.
