Do not harbor resentment...
It may seem more challengeing then ever to avoid when somone offends us. The Bible has practical counsel for such situations. " Be wrathfull, " the apostle Paul wrote, " and yet do not sin", let the sun not set with you in a provoked state." { Ephesians 4:26}
When someone wrongs us, It is only normal to feel a degree of wrath. That Paul says " be wrathful " implies that anger at times may be proper- perhaps in response to unfair treatment or a miscarriage of justice. { Compare 11:29 }
But when left unresolved , even justified anger can have a disastrous consequences , leading to great sin. { Genesis 34: 1-31 49: 5-7 } { Psalm 106:32,33 }
So what can you do when you feel provoked to wrath ?
