Today’s Scripture
Don’t allow the actions of evil men to cause you to burn with anger. Instead, burn with unrelenting passion as you worship God in holy awe. Your future is bright and filled with a living hope that will never fade away. As you listen to me, my beloved child, you will grow in wisdom and your heart will be drawn into understanding, which will empower you to make right decisions. Don’t live in the excesses of drunkenness or gluttony, or waste your life away by partying all the time, because drunkards and gluttons sleep their lives away and end up broke! Give respect to your father and mother, for without them you wouldn’t even be here. And don’t neglect them when they grow old. Embrace the truth and hold it close. Don’t let go of wisdom, instruction, and life-giving understanding.
Proverbs 23:17-23

Today’s Thought
Make the decision today to never allow anger to get the best of you. It’s a fear driven response, so the next time it shows up, seek God with unrelenting passion and make the decision to change your focus.

Today’s Confession
Lord Jesus, today I will seek God with unrelenting passion. I will never allow anger to get the better of me. Anger is a fear driven response, and when it presents itself I will meditate intensely on the Word and change my focus. Changing my focus onto God and His Word will eliminate any negative emotions that try to hinder me.
