Quick to Anger
LISTEN
"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires."
—James 1:20
Between June 2020, and May 2021, the number of road-rage incidents that
lead to death or injury  almost doubled, according to one analysis.
We are so quick to anger. Yet the Bible tells us, “Understand this, my
dear brothers and sisters:  You must all be quick to listen, slow to
speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce  the
righteousness God desires” (James 1:19–20 NLT).
Some people will explode and be angry, and then they’re over it. But
then there are others who  won’t have an outburst but instead will just
seethe on the inside. It reminds me of this statement  from Oswald
Chambers: “The man who loses his temper quickest is the one who finds
it quickest. The  man you need to beware of is not the man who flares
up, but the man who smoulders, who is  vindictive and harbors vengeance.”
The problem with a bitter and angry person is they’re never content to
keep it to themselves. They  want to spread it around. Instead of
dealing with it, instead of going to the person they’re angry  with or
have a conflict with and seeking to resolve the problem, they hold it
on the inside. They  allow their anger to dig in deeper, and that
becomes a root of bitterness.
But I’ve also come to realize there are some people who just love
confrontations. And sadly, there  are a lot of people like that in the
church today. They’re always nitpicking, complaining, and  arguing.
On the other hand, those who are truly spiritual are not hypercritical.
They’re gracious,  compassionate, and loving people.
So when someone seems to enjoy constantly running others down, it’s
because something is wrong in  their spiritual life. And don’t be
surprised to find that the person who whines the most and is  critical
of the smallest things in the lives of others is guilty of something far worse.
