Breathe

My verse of the day recently became Ephesians 4:26 "And don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry." I find I'm struggling more with anger lately than I've even thought about in years. Many years. Do you have someone in your life who can just push every single one of your buttons? I do, and it's someone in a position of authority over me. Yep, meaning I have to submit to this person every day. Even on my days off, because they never cease texting me over the weekend wanting to know something or wanting me to do something the minute I come into the building on Sunday. Sometimes I think I'd like to pull a "Thomas Jefferson" and cut out the parts of the Bible that stomp on my toes! I'd like to live totally out of my flesh, and tell them what I really think. But, instead, God brings His Word to my mind, and I have to go somewhere private, talk to Him...and breathe.

  1. Love that. Isn't it great that we can pour all of that on Him?
