Refrain from anger, do not fret

 Psalm 37:8 “Refrain from anger and turn from wrath, do not fret-it leads only to evil.”

Refrain from anger, turn from wrath it leads only to evil.  Do not fret.  Wow!  How profound! You don’t have to look far to see people getting passionately angry.   When I let myself get angry and upset my emotions are easily tipped to rage.  I used to live this way.  The roar inside of me would be so loud it consumed me.  I have found it is better to seek first to understand, love people where they are and not take offense in the first place.  When I let even a sliver of anger, fret, worry and wrath in my soul it destroys  my peace. Today if I’m tempted to be angry with someone or something, I’m going to stop. Try to see their point of view, pray then leave it in God‘s very capable hands.
