for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us].
James 1:20 AMP
It is so wonderful that God teaches us not to be angry, and instead, to trust Him. Him teaching me not to be angry with this or that in life has been such a huge blessing. Instead, I’m reminded to replace my anger with His peace that passes understanding. Amazing. Learning to trust Him with everything is making me free indeed. There is nothing like letting God make His loving changes in me.
“You couldn’t of told me I’d find what I found
Contentment and peace from above.”*
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
