The Taming of Anger
By A.W. Tozer0PSA 37:8PRO 4:23PRO 15:1ECC 7:9MAT 15:19ROM 12:19GAL 5:22EPH 4:26COL 3:8JAS 1:19A.W. Tozer emphasizes the significance of thoughts in the manifestation of anger, asserting that all sins, including anger, begin in the heart and mind. He explains that quick-tempered individuals often brood over wrongs, conditioning themselves for outbursts, while a heart filled with moral contemplation and understanding of God's mercy is less likely to react with anger. Tozer encourages deep meditation on sin, mercy, and Christ's sacrifice to cultivate a heart that responds with grace rather than rage. Ultimately, he highlights the importance of managing our thoughts to tame our anger and respond appropriately to injustices.
