Dousing The Flame Of Anger

God loves all his children. He doesn't disparage one in favor of another. It grieves Him when we believe He does.

He favored Abel's offering, but did not favor Abel over Cain. Cain misunderstood the difference and allowed his anger to blind him.

God caution's all of His children to be slow to anger in our relationships, marriages, and lives because of the devastation that anger can unleash. He did not want Cain to go down that path of destruction. Instead of giving in to his emotions, God wanted Him to examine why he was angry. Envy was the match that ignited his fury. He chose to hang on to anger instead of God.

When we are upset, we need not focus on it to the exclusion of all else. Bring it to God. Explore with Him why we are angry and then we can douse the flame together with HIM.

Read Genesis 4:1-16
