MARCH 14
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he
that taketh a city—
Prov. 16:32. |
|
While anger, in the
nature of hatred, malice, strife, envy, should be put away by all
who are seeking to be copies of God’s dear Son, anger in the sense
of righteous indignation against wrong-doing, sin in its various
forms, is proper; and although it should be used with great
moderation, backed by love, there are circumstances in which it
would be wrong not to have righteous anger and use
it. |
