When I become angry I am tempted to act hastily and mindlessly--better to slow down, to think, and to employ the energy of my anger in a positive, thoughtful way.
A significant fraction of the prophetic scriptures that I have been reading lately deals with anger attributed to God. I wonder how God's anger compares with mine. "Righteous indignation" seems a more accurate descriptor of God's "anger" for me.
Anger propels me toward losing control. Does anger tempt God to lose self-control? I haven't found that characteristic attributed to God anywhere in scripture; and God has not yet revealed it to me.
