Myself I cannot save, Myself I cannot keep;
But strength in Thee I surely have
Whose eyelids never sleep.
(EPH. 4:26, 2726Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27Neither give place to the devil. (Ephesians 4:26‑27).) "Be ye angry, and sin not." Righteous anger is communion with God in His indignation against evil (see Mark 3:55And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. (Mark 3:5)), but even if anger produced in us by the Holy Ghost be nursed, it will soon pass into a natural feeling, and thus we are told, "Let not the sun go down upon thy wrath." And then the injunction follows, "Neither give place to the devil." To cherish a feeling against any one is to give place to the devil.
