Bible Verse: Ephesians 4:26-27
“And ‘don’t sin by letting anger control you.’ Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil."

Reflect and Respond: What things are making you a "soft target" today? How might you become a "hard target"? I'd love to hear your comments!

Prayer: Father, please help me be aware of any anger traps that I might fall into. Instead, let me be responsive to Your Holy Spirit so that anger cannot control me. Amen.

We look forward to your comments and questions below!

Jesus got angry, but only when sinful people misused the temple of God, Lord , give me your heart to be angry about things that make you angry. When dealing with people, help me to remain calm , quick to listen, slow to speak, and very slow to respond.

Amen. Good Word! Interesting illustration about the soft and hard target.

Follow the rules, be prepared, be alert, be ready... be a hard target. Wow!

Yes, when we give in to anger and let it control us, we're making ourselves soft targets for the devil. Wow!

Lord, help me to no live in sin and being control by anger. Help me to deal and repent in the moment, so to be a hard target to the devil. Amen.

I will stay cool, calm and in God's word. Hallelujah!
