Verse for the DayAnd "don't sin by letting anger gain control over you."[e] Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil. - Ephesians 4:26-27
Tamara- I don't know if this is the verse you were looking for, but it is one I thought of.
This is the New Living Translation version, and I like it because it says to not let our anger control us because it gives the devil a mighty foothold. It is ok to be angry, but in our anger we need to be cautious that it doesn't lead to other sin...bitterness,slander,rage,malice,etc..Which is hard for me, and I am kind of struggling with. I have been angry so angry it hurts, and in there were sometimes that I felt Satan could've had me easily. But in that I think having a life group helps, and turning right to God to diffuse. So this is still something I battle and I just have to trust in Christ and look at him to get through.
In that I have another verse...Psalm 119:30
I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.
What a great reminder especially when my thoughts start turning inward. David says to set our hearts on God's law. To study it so when we go through hard times we will know God more. God's way is the truth even when it gets hard. We are to stay the course, and keep focused on Him.
