Don't Let The Sun Go Down While You Are Still Angry
Don't Allow Anger To Destroy Your Relationships
EPHESIANS 4:26-27
“”Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.”
Ephesians 4:26-27 NKJV

God doesn’t tell us not to be angry, indeed He Himself gets angry at times; we all need to let off steam. But He points out that it is important to handle anger appropriately.
When anger is allowed to vent itself uncontrollably or thoughtlessly, it can be very damaging, not just to one’s self, but to others too, seriously damaging our relationships, including our relationship with Christ.
If we allow anger to bottle inside, it can cause us to become bitter and twisted, destroying us from the inside. Unless we vent it out, it will build up pressure until it explodes uncontrollably.
Paul tells us we need to deal with our anger immediately in a way that builds relationships rather than destroys them; certainly before the end of the day when the sun goes down.
Sleeping on it will open the door to the devil; He will drag it out as long as he can, but even worse, your uncontrolled anger will let demons in to take up residence in your body, particularly the spirit of anger and rage who would manipulate one’s emotions from within.
So “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 PETER 5:8).
If you nurse your anger, it will grow, just as from a tiny acorn comes a great oak. Therefore, nip it in the bud, do not allow it to take root and bring division.
Yes, you may of been seriously wronged, but at some time or another, you wronged someone too; we all need forgiveness and a Saviour.
Looking ourselves in the mirror and recognising that we are all sinners and have hurt others at times can be humbling, and accepting that we all need God’s forgiveness and His grace can help us to forgive others.
Jesus said, ““Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?”
Matthew 7:1-3 NKJV
