Proverbs - Anger May Be Rooted in Guilt



Proverbs 15:18

 A wrathful man stirreth up strife:
but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

If we find ourselves in constant conflict with anyone we might be in a state of being a wrathful woman.  A wrathful woman is pent up with some sort of anger related to judgment.  The interesting thing about this anger is that it may be even related to us.  It is important that we come before the Lord and confess and forsake behavior that He has told us to forsake.  This will result in finding mercy and our inner man will rest in His grace.  If we are either not confessing or not forsaking our sin, we will sense the inner conflict with our Lord.  This often manifests itself as impatience, a critical spirit or snappy tongue with those who are around us.  Is there something the Lord has shown you to confess AND forsake? 

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.“
            (Proverbs 28:13)
