TOPIC: Anger I [Open Heaven for Teens 29 April 2021]
MEMORISE: Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9
READ: Proverbs 14:29
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 21-22, Luke 22:1-71
MESSAGE:
Anger is a strong emotion that can destroy you if you don’t deal with it. Why do people get angry easily? There are several reasons but we will consider two:
Pride: People that often get offended are proud. For example, Haman planned to kill Mordecai and his people because he was proud. He felt he wasn’t getting enough reverence from Mordecai (Esther 3:5). If you get angry easily, check it, you might be proud.

Lack of love: Anyone who loves people genuinely will not get angry easily. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 states the attributes of love; if you have all of then, you cannot stay angry at people.
The meekest man ever, Moses did not get to the Promised Land because of anger (Numbers 20:11-12). Deal with that anger today before it stops you from getting to heaven.
ACTION POINT:
Deal with the source of anger in you.
HYMN: LET US WITH A GLADSOME MIND
- Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord for He is kind;
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure. - Let us sound His name abroad,
For of gods He is the God;
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure. - He, with all-commanding might,
Filled the new-made world with light;
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure. - All things living He doth feed,
His full hand supplies
their need;
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure. - He His chosen race did bless
In the wasteful wilderness;
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure. - He hath with a piteous eye
Looked upon our misery;
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure. - Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord for He is kind.
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure.
