Proverbs 22:24-25
24 Make no friendship with an angry man,
And with a furious man do not go,
25 Lest you learn his ways
And set a snare for your soul.
I bet many of you have learned this lesson God is teaching us this morning the hard way. I know I have. It seems their are some in life who live in anger. I know life can be tough and we all go through hard times but God does not want us to have anger as our attitude. If we will just stop and look around God has blessed us all so much. That fact alone should remove the anger from our lives and give us an attitude of gratitude to God. God warns us in this verse to keep our distance from those who live in anger. If you hang around with folks who are bitter and angry all the time it will start to ware off on you. Just look at who your friends are right now. If you look closely you will see that you have picked up some of their characteristics over time and they have picked up some of yours too. God's word is clear. He wants us to be people of love. patience, and kindness. Anger has none of these qualities and God wants us to stay away from anger.
Take time to evaluate yourself this morning. Get anger out and love in!
