A Breath of Inspiration Ministry

A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. - Proverbs 29:11

I found myself just a wee ANGRY when reading this scripture.  At first I thought it meant, don't get mad, just blow off every offense.  Then I looked again. 

Honestly at times, I'm going to feel anger when I'm irritated, offended, or annoyed. However, if I give FULL VENT to my feelings of anger, then I'm nothing more than a fool. 

BUT, if I exercise self control and bring my anger to God in prayer instead of reacting or lashing out to people OR not lashing out but quietly building resentment, then I can learn to express my anger costructively and in a way that honors God.
