Anger and Fury: Blueprint for Disaster

Unbridled passion is a blueprint for building a bridge to failure, even disaster. Passion’s core agenda is to satisfy whatever is defined as a need or desire which could be rational and reasonably or irrational and illogical. When passion is measured against Christian values and ethics, then positive benefits for the good of everyone are feasible.

When passions become uncensored and out of bounds, moving against others, even loved ones, with destructive behavior becomes a possibility. Samson acted in ways that alienated. In a fit of anger he indiscriminately moved against those who were the object of his fury. In this state of anger he left his new wife and returned home to his parents.

Samson was unable to see how burning anger resulted in irrational acts that caused him to move against those for whom he cared. His behavior was also a move away from God. Whatever your situation, God is willing to replace destructive passions with godly passions that center on goodness and productivity.

Don’t be angry or furious. Anger can lead to sin.

All sinners will disappear, but if you trust the Lord, the land will be yours.
