Daily Devotional: January 7 – Righteous Anger

Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still – Psalm 4:4

Is it okay to be angry? Absolutely! In fact, king David in today’s bible verse encourages us to be angry. This sounds strange until we understand that the anger he advocates is righteous anger. Unlike unrighteous anger that is influenced by the flesh and turns to wrath if not kept in check, righteous anger is influenced and controlled by God. This type of anger does not settle for less than God’s best but provokes positive and godly change. What would happen if you got so angry about your pride, ego, fears, poverty, faltering marriage, failing health? What would happen if you got so angry at your wayward ways that you said in your heart that enough is enough? Don’t just accept things just as they are but meditate on the word of God to get key insights on how to tackle the issues in your life. One of the best decisions you can make today is to be angry at the problems with the goal of finding godly solutions.

I choose the anger that leads to positive change and blessings in my life
