Thought for Friday March 18

If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?

I trust in the LORD;

my soul trusts in his word.

My soul waits for the LORD

more than sentinels wait for the dawn.

Let Israel wait for the LORD.

If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?

Matthew 5: 20 – 26 You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment,

How common is anger in my society? Does it sometimes seem like people are trying to make me mad to further their own agendas?

Action: The next time you read something that makes you angry, find something positive in the situation to help you defuse your anger.
