No more Mr. Angry Guy

Man, it is harder then ever to have an angry rant when you're a Christian.

"Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few." Ecclesiastes 5:2

My brain translates this verse into something like this, "Dude, don't call them names just cause you're angry. Don't swear to God that you will knock some sense into them or something ridiculous like that. God is never too busy for His sons and daughters. He has, however, had it up to Heaven and back with all this silly junk. Don't waste your breath on the meaningless stuff."

It's irritating when God does this. Doesn't He realize I want to be angry!

But...

Why?

Why waste my time on the meaningless?

Why hold a grudge that will turn my bones to sawdust and strip all the humor out of my life?

It's not worth it.

Really, was it ever worth it? Jesus died so that we could be free from the lord of this world.

Angry rants, grudges, and tirades are not from God.

So why do we waste so much of our time on them?

We don't have to anymore.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THE ANGER.

Rather, say goodbye to Mr. Angry Guy.
