Anger is a common problem if left uncontrolled. We can be angry but do not sin. God’s word in Ephesians 3:26-27 is worth pondering upon, “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Do not let anger prompt you to sinful actions that the devil can have a ground to destroy you. Anger is a human emotion that is not sinful. We all feel emotion at various times, feelings that come naturally and can be directed positively on people. How, then, does it become sinful? How we act on those emotions becomes sinful. It can be directed negatively toward others. It can be directed in a rage, rudeness, shouting, and bad-mouthing. Do not allow anger to prompt sinful actions. When the devil gets a foothold, he can set you up to destroy your life. Do not stay angry. Catch a breather so you do not dwell on it and become bitter. Don’t let your anger consume you long; deal with it on the same day as the provocation happens.  Calm yourself when given to rage and harsh words. Forgive so that when the devil brings back into your memory the wound to arouse anger and make you bitter, he won't succeed.  Make calmness a habit by God’s grace so that when provoked to get angry, you will not sin by directing your anger positively at the right time and sin. May you grow in God's grace to develop inner calmness and self-control. Amen.
