GOOD AND ANGRY

Anger is a normal human emotion and mindset. But we must take great care not to sin when we are angry.

And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 
- Mark 3:5

This is the only time in the gospels where the Scriptures actually say the Lord was angry. He had righteous anger. Righteous anger is not anger in defending our rights, but in standing up for someone who is being hurt or taken advantage of. Righteous anger is based on God‘s Word and for His glory, not for the sake of us venting our flesh. Righteous anger does not strike out verbally or physically to harm others. May God help us to be only good and angry.
