WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?

Genesis 4:6 NKJV "So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?"

The world is full of angry people; people are angry, irritated, frustrated, displeased and upset; they are angry with the government, angry with their colleagues, angry with their teachers, their families, their spouses and even with God! And the reasons for their anger varies, sometimes there's really no reason whatsoever!

But why are you really angry? You're angry with the government for not providing jobs; when exactly did the government become your provider? You're angry with your spouse because of the way he spoke to you; why don't you just let go? You're angry with your employer for the way they've been treating you: have you forgotten that God is always with you, causing all things to work together for your good?

God said to Cain, "Why are you angry?" He also asked Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry?" (Jonah 4:4). Today I choose to be happy always! It matters no more what happens or doesn't happen, I may not be in control of external circumstances, but I am in control of myself! I choose to see from a different perspective; I choose to interpret events with the mind of Christ in me! Rather than be worried, I cast all my cares upon Jesus! Today I empty myself of anger; the Holy Spirit now has enough room in my heart! Hallelujah!
