Devotions: The Snare Of Anger


Do not associate with a man given to anger;
Or go with a hot-tempered man,
Or you will learn his ways
And find a snare for yourself.
Proverbs 22:24-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Similar to yesterday, we are not to be companions with those who have a temper. This does not mean that we should never be around those people, but they should not be our close friends. The danger here is that if we are with those who are easily angered or fired up, we will become like them. We will adopt their ways. And those ways are a snare, literally they will bring evil and bondage. Once we give way to anger, it will grow and consume us. It is hard to control and will lead to worse things like bitterness and violence. We need to be very careful who we allow to influence us. I know in the work place this can be especially difficult because we generally have no control over who we work with, and working with angry bitter people can make life miserable. Ask for God’s help in choosing friends and also for guidance in work place relationships. If you work with someone who is easily angered, or is always upset, ask God to show you how to help them. Maybe there is an outside issue or internal/heart problem that they are having trouble dealing with. Pray for that person, that God will heal their heart.
