Proverbs 29:8
Scornful
men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
Wrath is
rather intimidating at times. We can get
sucked into an attitude before we even know what has happened. To be wise women we need to turn away
wrath. We shouldn’t mock someone in
their anger nor should we trivialize a person’s feelings when they are exhibiting
such anger. When our children begin to
vent, we must take them seriously and seek to turn the wrath away and get to
the issue at hand. Sure, the wrath of
man does not work the righteousness of God, but going past the wrath to the
issue will help extinguish the wrath and bring about a solution. Let us not be those scornful women who get
pulled into a heated rage. Let us have
soft answers and tender hearts whenever wrath is evident.
