I noticed the verse below in my Verse of the Day box. This is something that I need to remember. Although God took a lot of my anger from me when I got saved...I still battle it on a daily basis. God allows some things to stay with us after we get saved to keep us humble and seeking Him daily for help with that thing. This verse is a powerful verse to me. Do you have a verse that is like that for you? If so...would you mind sharing it in a comment with me?
Proverbs 16:32 "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."

I love how God's Word can grip us.
I enjoy having that little box on my sidebar, too, and read it everyday.
That is a wonderful verse.
I, also, like (regarding anger)
James 1:19,20 ~
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not
the righteousness of God."
This one is a wonderful reminder to me, too.
Have a blessed Lord's Day.

That's a good verse...I need that one daily too. I have so many verses that help me daily; in all different situations. Proverbs 17:28 is one that I like a lot: "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."
So many times I open my mouth, and instead of sounding wise (like I was trying to) I end up only sounding like a fool!
I hope this wasn't one of those times! ;)
sis. christina....That is definitely another good one. I pray your Lord's Day is a blessed one as well.
sis. pamela...no it wasn't one of those times!! Thank you for sharing the verse that helps you each day. That is a good one. I have that same problem at times..LOL!!
I tried to answer your question on my blog --- tried being the operative word LOL.
I too can have a problem with anger that turns into bitterness. I tend to get angry when I'm hurt and hold on to those hurts. Truth is that I'm afraid of what I'd have left if I didn't hold on to the hurts. Pray for me about that if you think of it. I'm battling with it now --- which is why our pastor gave us the Basic Life Principles seminar to go through. It's been beneficial already.
katy-anne....I will pray for you.
Well I really like the entire book of Proverbs. I'm sure I could pick one verse if I had to but the whole book just speaks volumes to me!
tiffany....I love the book of proverbs as well. My husband is taking our SS class through the book of proverbs verse by verse and I'm loving it!! There is much to glean from that book!
