Day #15

Read James 1:20

Look back at your notes from yesterday.  Did you write down anything about “the anger of man?”  The way you can tell if you have this kind of anger is when you are consumed with it and when you carry it over to the next day.  Write this down.  You may need this information someday soon.

Have you ever seen “the anger of man” in yourself or in others?  I definitely have.  It always ends up in hurt.  What you are about to learn will be hard, but begin now allowing God to mold you in it... to make you new.

Pray and talk to God about what He is about to teach you.  Pray for focus.  Pray that God makes you uncomfortable and gets your attention.

The ANGER OF MAN only draws its strength from the human it came from.  Even when it is directed against a wrong-doing, it fails because spewing a mouthful of lava at someone cannot change their heart.  Therefore, this anger will never produce right living before God (righteousness)… NOT FOR YOU OR YOUR VICTIM. 

God is holy and righteous.  This means that God is “set apart” and “without guilt or sin.”  God requires that we, as believers, model this character.

Read the following and write what they say in your own words.

Leviticus 19:2

Matthew 5:48

1 Peter 1:16

The Bible is a mirror image of God… He makes His will and His character known all throughout it.  As you chase after His Word (the Bible) each day, you will be made new each time you are in it and obey it.  Praise God for that!!
