Control Yourself (Proverbs 15:18)

There are those out there who love to stir up things and cause fights and contentions. This of course, is something that Lord does not like.

"A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger appeases contention." Proverbs 15:18, Amplified

One seems to be happier in an environment that complements his distemper. A wise man once said, "Miserable being must find more miserable being, then he is happy." A hot tempered man stirs up strife around him because this is all that he knows. Being slow to anger is an attribute that a child of God has. "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." (James 1:19-20, NKJV) The man who is slow to anger is able to see what others do not; he has the ability to pray about the situation. There is so much benefit or a man when he can control his anger.
