My Anger Factory

 i'll never be tested beyond my endurance because i can rely on Your endurance, Abba.  The Holy Spirit is with me now.  i need the tests of adversity in order to demonstrate my love for You.  If my endurance and faith must be measured, so be it.  If the Son of God could experience every temptation known to man, then who's to say i won't experience temptations?  When i look in the mirror and begin to admire what i see, that's the times somebody will pull my rug from under me.  If i drift into arrogance, not even You, Lord, can get through to me.  I've had delusions of spiritual grandeur.  

Expression of my anger only solidifies my anger and that can become a harmful habit.  Jesus was not angry at injustices done to Him, not even when the crowd back Him up to the edge of a cliff.  It was righteous anger against injustice to His Father and to other people.  His anger is sanctified.  Righteous anger is never about the self.  Lord, help me to avoid any debt, other than the debt of love.  When i'm angry, let it be righteous anger, which is never about the self.  Don'[t let someone else pull it out of me.  Let no man or woman make me angry unless he or she is offending You.

i've manufactured that anger inside me for years, like i have an anger factory inside me.  It's time with Your help and Your Holy Spirit dwelling inside me to close that factory down.  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth. - [Ephesians 4:29] Let emark escape me in this cynical, smart-mouth age where there is so much disrespect.
