Focus: Boxing With My Shadows Day 24 | August 28

 

Unresolved anger can simmer as a dangerous shadow. Cain’s anger led to tragedy (Genesis 4:6–7), but God urged him to do what is right. Paul commands us: “In your anger, do not sin…” (Ephesians 4:26). Proverbs says, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1). Transform your anger by surrendering it to God and choosing peacemaking.

Bible Verses:

• “Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” (Genesis 4:7)

• “In your anger, do not sin…” (Ephesians 4:26)

• “A gentle answer turns away wrath.” (Proverbs 15:1)

Call to Action:
Examine current frustrations or irritations. Pray for wisdom to address them calmly and ask God to help you pursue peace.

3 Things to Remember:

• Anger can be controlled and transformed.

• God equips you to choose peace.
