PROVERBS 19:11 BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY

In the very fast-paced world we all now live and work in, one of the things that has occurred to many people is that their fuses have really shortened up. Things that never made them mad and angry now set them off very easily.

Road rage is still a major problem on our highways, along with people losing their tempers in their marriages and in the work places. For those of you who are having a problem in controlling your temper, you may want to take a very good look at the 2 Bible Verses we have listed for today.

These 2 verses are telling us to be slow to anger, slow to wrath, and slow to speak. In other words, do not spout off and easily lose your temper at the slightest bit of provocation. Flip off the wrong guy on the highway and he may be the last person you will see alive again.

Here are these two most important verses on this issue:

1. “The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and it is to his glory to overlook a transgression.” (Proverbs 19:11)

2. “Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” (James 1:19)

One of the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit is the fruit of self-control. If there are any of you who are having a problem in controlling your temper, ask God to release this specific fruit along with His fruit of peace into your personality so you can learn how to control your bad temper.

People who easily lose their tempers are not fun to be around, as you always feel like you are walking on eggshells since you never know when they will go off next. This also creates a lot of extra tension in a marriage and family, as members of a family will find themselves starting to pull away from people who lose their tempers too easily and too quickly.
