I see more and more angry people–in the news, on social media, just going about their day-to-day activities. It’s not my anger, but it puts me on edge.
It’s nothing new. David knew about it, back in Old Testament times.
Psalm 37:8 (CEB)
Let go of anger and leave rage behind!
Don’t get upset—it will only lead to evil.

In-your-face anger, hot rage, even a slow burn. Not good for you, not good for those around you. Let go of it, or it will lead you into trouble.
