Smoldering Fires

Smoldering fires only need to be slightly stirred to burst into flames.  If left unattended to, or not put out, they can burst into a raging fire--capable of destroying everything in its path  (families, forests, etc.).

Anger management classes aren't enough!  Just gathering head knowledge won't do it.  Only a heart change will!  You may learn enough to "manage" (tame) your anger, but if you truly don't remove the root system that is "feeding" the anger, the angry beast will attack, injure, mame, or kill you--and anyone in its path! 

You may be able to train yourself (much like an animal trainer trains his lions), to submit and behave--but if the cat....or you....is threatened, offended, or injured--the painful pussycat will pounce, attack, and devour anyone in its path....including you (its trainer)!

Another way to describe anger and its affects is:  Anger is like an acid--it destroys flesh!  I see it eating away at flesh.  When someone says "that just burns me up," they're not kidding!  Anger and wrath BURN and destroy flesh!

Your Word tells us not to "let the sun go down upon our wrath."  It must be dealt with and eliminated quickly.  Douse it with His "Living Water!"  [Jeremiah 2:13/17:13; John 4:10-11/7:38]

Satan plays with fire!  Don't play with fire, my friend!  Allow the Lord to supply you with an unending supply of "Living Water"... and cool off!!!
