Take a Chill Pill

Psalm 4:4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Anger is not a sin in itself. It is actually a natural emotion that happens without our permission. The problem comes when we allow anger to control us. People who submit to their anger end up in some troubling predicaments. When anger is involved, our first reaction is almost always the wrong reaction. There is great wisdom here in that when we face situations that cause anger, we need to think about it overnight, and even more importantly, keep quiet so that we don't have to try and undo damage that our words might cause others when we are angry. God gave us emotions for our good, but we must allow the Spirit to control our emotions, instead of letting our emotions rule us.
