Fighting the Volcano
There are some people whose personalities run hot and cold and the least little thing can upset them. The sad thing is, that when pushed too far . . . they explode like an erupting volcano! Usually, eruptions are followed by shame, regret and remorse. Unfortunately, words once spoken can never be taken back and actions can never be undone. Most people, if they waited, and calmed down, would never respond in the same way. The Bible gives wise advice in Psalm 4:4, “Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent.” And in Proverbs 14:29, “People with understanding, control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.” The plain truth is; Anger ruins relationships and worse, separates us from our Lord and Savior. Lives can be destroyed over one impulsive action just because of a bad temper. If we really want to be more like Jesus, we need to pray for His sweet spirit to dwell within us. The Bible says in “Nahum 1:3, “The Lord is slow to anger and great in power.” Determine today to fight the volcano with God’s power, claiming Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Text: Romans 12:19, Ephesians 4:26-27, Proverbs 29:22, Ecclesiastes 7:9


Bible Texts:
Romans 12:19 NKJV - Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 

Ephesians 4:26-27 NKJV - "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. 

Proverbs 29:22 NKJV - An angry man stirs up strife, And a furious man abounds in transgression. 

Ecclesiastes 7:9 NKJV - Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
