Wisdom that Tempers Anger
The problem with anger is not necessarily the external circumstances that cause it, but the anger that arises from within. While it may not necessarily be sinful to be angry, it can make it easier to sin, especially if one is quick to get angry. Anger arises from a lack of self-control and a desire for power. However, self-control is better than taking control, and patience is better than being a powerful warrior. Anger is an issue of character, not just behavior, and it’s important to be motivated by a love for God and people, rather than a self-centered view of anger. The book of Proverbs offers practical advice on wisdom, but it’s also important to see it put into practice, such as by Jesus.
