Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. - Micah 7:18Is it wrong for you to be angry?
In other words, is anger a strictly negative emotion, and always an expression of sin? Definitely not!
Anger is a natural human emotion; a facet of the warning system God has built into our bodies to alert us of problems and prompt us to positive, problem-solving actions.
Furthermore, anger isn’t necessarily an expression of sin.
Jesus, the sinless Son of God, and the perfect man, expressed anger at several points in His ministry.
Jesus' anger is perhaps most clearly seen when He drove the money-changers out of the Temple as seen in Matthew 21 and Mark 11.
It’s usually not our anger that gets us in trouble.
It’s what we do with our anger—where and how we direct it that we so often regret. Remember, the Bible doesn’t say, "Don’t get angry." But it does say, "Be slow to anger."
I challenge you, though, to consider what anger in your life is natural and healthy, which is sinful and destructive, and how best to direct your anger.
