Temper

“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice” (Ephesians 4:31).

I read a statistic recently that I thought was very interesting and noteworthy:

“Ten minutes of unbridled temper can waste enough strength to do a complete day of wholesome work.”

Let’s remember that our physical energy is a gift from God, entrusted to us to be used in His service and for His glory. When preaching on Mars’ Hill, the Apostle Paul declared “He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things” (Acts 17:25).Daniel had to remind King Belshazzar, “The God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified” (Daniel 5:23).

It is a sin to take God’s gift and squander it through evil and unbridled emotions. When I was a young person we used to sing the song:

Angry word, Oh let them never,

From the tongue, unbridled slip.

May the love of Jesus ever

Fill the heart and keep the lip.
