Blessed evening, everyone. I am Lah Lah and here to share about “Speaking with wisdom when we are angry."
Have you ever said something in anger and later regretted it? Sometimes when we are angry, we respond so quickly that we don't even know that it hurts others. Words spoken in anger can destroy our friendships, families, and relationships with people around us. That is why speaking with wisdom matters when we are angry.
Anger is a normal emotion, but we must learn to control our words. Speaking with wisdom means thinking before speaking, staying calm, and choosing words that bring peace instead of harm. When we are frustrated:
- We should listen first, then speak gently.
- Keep calm.
- We shouldn’t let anger control our emotions.
As believers, before we speak, we must ask for wisdom from God. Wise people never speak harshly; they pause, pray, and respond carefully and respectfully.
Story- Nails in the Fence
Once there was a young boy who got angry easily and couldn’t manage his anger. One day, his father decided to help his son with his anger issues. He gave his son a hammer and dozens of nails in a bag and said, “When you’re angry, go out to the backyard and hammer a nail into the fence.” In the beginning, he would get angry often and hammer many nails into the fence. But as time passed, he used fewer nails as he got less angry frequently. After some weeks his temper gets much better. Then his father told him to remove each nail as he could manage his temper every day. Finally, the day came when he removed the last nail from the fence. His dad congratulated him. “You’ve done well, but do you notice the holes in the fence?” “It will never be the same as you saying mean things in anger; it leaves a scar on others." The boy realized the valuable lesson his dad was teaching him.
Let us ask God to help us speak with wisdom, especially when we are angry. Instead of using words that hurt, let us use words that bring peace and understanding.
The Bible says, "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” — James 1:19
Another verse says: “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
— Proverbs 15:1
May our words always reflect wisdom, patience, and love.
