THE SCAR OF BAD TEMPER
KEY VERSE: “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go.” (PROVERBS 22:24)
BIBLE TEXT: PROVERBS 22:24,25
There was once a little girl who had a bad temper. To help her solve the problem, her mother gave her a bag of nail and told her that every time she feels angry, she must hammer a nail to the fence.
The first day the girl had driven 35 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as she learned to control her anger, the number of nails hammered gradually reduced. She discovered it was easier to hold her temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the girl did not lose her temper at all.
Over time she overcame the problem of anger and she was so happy. The mother then suggested the girl now pull out one nail for each day that she was able to control her temper.
The days passed and she happily told her mother that she has pulled out all the nails. The mother took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence. She said “you have done well my daughter, but look at the holes in the fence, the fence will never be the same again.” “When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.” This story reveals the danger of allowing the spirit of anger to grow in us.
If you have the problem of anger, pray now and confess to God. Ask Him to cleanse your heart and give you power to completely overcome the bad habit.
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of anger.
