13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” (John 2: 13-17, NIV)
How many of us get angry? I know that I can get angry from time to time. I think I am the worst on the road, so many people frustrate me on the road these days. This though is not a good anger, but did you know that there is good anger. Anger towards things like crime, coruption, and those things that husrt the heart of God. Jesus got angry, but he always had a strong reason for it.
Today let us try to hold back on our anger, unless we know that it is within God's plan of anger.
