Read Proverbs 25:28 One of the hardest things to control is the tongue. Before we realize it, we have said things that are sorry that we did. The next hardest thing to control is our temper. Sometimes we are quick to get angry, and usually it is with someone that we love. In verse 28 Solomon uses a good example. In Bible times they didn't have airplanes or bombers to fly overhead, so castle walls were good defenses against enemies. But when a city's walls were broken down, the city had no defense. It is the same with someone who has no control over his temper. He has no defense. Our temper is hard to control, but it is possible to control it. Let's not be like a defenseless city. Let's control our temper. If you are quick to get angry, ask the Lord to help you control your anger. Try this: When you feel yourself getting mad, just stop. Don't say anything. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly and ask the Lord to calm you down. God will be pleased. He will help you control your temper.
