I found G.L. Borchett's section on Human Wrath interesting and challenging. He connects some of the wrath scriptures spoken of in Romans with Christian living. We, as believers in Him, should leave anger to God. Although Borchett explains anger to be okay at times "it must not be indulged." I find it difficult when I become angry to exercise restraint. I think Ephesians says that when angry do not let Satan have a foothold. As mentioned in the article, the best attitude for us to have involves allowing God to have his wrath when he chooses. We should simply rely on Him to be humble and pray for eyes of grace. Through our lives we should reflect and tell others about Christ. The world watches us and we must be self-controled even if persecuted. I really have no idea what dealing with persecution is like, but the scripture teaches we should allow those times to demonstrate Jesus to the world and allow the Lord to have vengence or show mercy.
