Is it OK to get angry?  Scripture says that it is.  In fact, we are told in God’s word that certain things should anger us.  For example, God’s Word says that we are to be grieved by things that grieve God.  We are to hate what He hates, which is the sin in our lives and world, and we are to be opposed to any and everything that hinders and hurts His cause. 

Unfortunately, more often than not, that’s not what upsets us.  We get angry over much smaller matters that matter little for eternity.  We get angry when people offend us and drag our names through the mud and attack our character and thwart our plans, but not so much when it comes to God.  Though it’s not a bad thing to be upset when people treat you unjustly and talk negatively about you; you need to make sure that your zeal for God, and your desire for His name to be great, and your passion for His Kingdom to advance is priority one in your life.
