DAILY WISDOM. If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day. Dont give the Devil a chance. -Ephesians 4:26-27 Who has not known of people who become desperately ill following an outburst of temper? Physicians declare that just as fear, irritability and hate distort the features, they likewise distort the heart, stomach and liver. Experiments conducted on a cat shortly after a meal showed that when it was purring contentedly, its digestive organs functioned perfectly. But when a dog was brought into the room and the cat drew back in fear and anger, the X-ray showed that its digestive organs were so contorted as to be almost tied up in a knot! -Culled from The Secret of the Ages, By Robert Collier, P.115 It has been proven, scientifically, that some of the worst sicknesses known to man stem from- you guessed right: ANGER! Frequent bouts of anger could lead you, willy-nilly, to the doorsteps of stomach ulcer, hypertension, high blood pressure, obesity and even diabetes. And guess what? There DEFINITELY WILL be dogs that will walk into your feline world from time to time- how you react, when they do, will determine whether or not you leave WHOLE or WRECKED! I used to have a problem with temper- thanks to Gods grace, I let go of it a long time ago. Im not saying I am totally anger-proof: it would be rash and vain to say that- but, a mountain of things that formerly would cause contour lines to form on my forehead simply do not bother me anymore. The reason? Well, its simply not worth it! Everytime you let anger have its way with you, you forfeit not only some of your physical health, but your spiritual as well- and even if neither of the aforementioned suffered, your reputation might! Anger, even with the most fervent Christian, can make you lose control and do something unimaginable- something that could lead you into untold trouble- trouble you could have avoided if youd just stayed sober, maintained your cool. And you know whats worse? The people we rage at, often, arent even aware we are offended or that they have wronged us in any way; while we stew in our anger and build a house of hate, brick by little brick, going about groaning and moaning and cursing within ourselves each time we see them, they go about their activities not caring a hoot! Do yourself a favour, please, flee from anger! Take this from me- anger will do you no good. Train yourself to ignore insults; refuse to be bothered by things, even those that merit some form of rebuke; try your hardest, also, not to react to things or people when you are excited. Stay away from the beast of anger and, by so doing, live your life to the fullest! ANGER, IF YOU ALLOW IT, WILL KILL YOU LONG BEFORE YOUR TIME- FLEE FROM IT!!! BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING ONTO ALL...
