ephesians 4:26

"be angry, and do not sin." do not let the sun go down in your wrath."

  It makes me angry to see america over 15 trillion dollars in debt when there are starving families dieing every day and it only takes 40 billion to feed the world. It makes me angry to see a lost and confused generation when the truth lies right under there noses. It makes me angry to see a world thats wrapped around themselves and there outward appierence and not whats wrapped around there hearts. It makes me angry that there seems to be more sinning than good deeds when its a free choice to make. It makes me angry that i once was exactly all the things that i hated and make me angry it makes me angry it makes me angry when i fall back to that way of thinking but the truth is  can find any reason to be angry and justify my anger to the point where its so justify it so much i stay in it and am always bitter. but whats the point of staying angry and giving the devil that satisfaction? whats the point in boiling so long it starts boiling over and spilling out on everyone around me? instead of directing my anger for negative intentions in a firing rage to get back at the world destroying things around me playing victim justifyed my anger i will change my spit fire into a driven act of faith believing that god can do all things and has proven that to me. for i am almost the complete opposite then how i was 3 months ago. that can only be god, and my choice to follow him. so knowing this i will direct my anger in a knew direction letting it turn into a heavenly driven, task oriented, love motivated motion and make a difference flooding my heart and the hearts around me with motivation for gods love and forgiveness. if god can make this change in me then he can change the world :). mark 9:23 "if you believe all things are possible to who believes."

application: mark 5:19 "go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the lord has done for you, and how he has had compassion on you." i will continue to turn my anger into a motive to change the things that make the anger with compassion for those who are still boiling in there anger and remind myself of that before my day ends and a different day begins. i cant do so if my anger isn't directed in the right motives.
