Put Away Anger

Scripture: Colossians 3:8...But now you also put off all these: anger, wrath,
malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. (NASB)
We've been washed clean by the Lamb of God. But, there is still some
decluttering to be done as we clean out the junk of sin from the basements and
attics of our hearts to empty us of the bitter attitudes that produce words of malice
or fits of rage so that there is no room for the Lord to make His true dwelling within
us. It's not unlike a clog that stops the flow of the Holy Spirit or God's Presence in
our lives. These things must be washed away and a change of heart take its
place.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for making me new. Sometimes, it is hard to let go
of the bad attitudes and ideas that I have held deep inside for so long. Please
complete Your renewing of my mind and heart. Rid me of the sinful nature and
thoughts that are not of you so that my words and actions may reflect Your true
self in me.

In Jesus's Name...Amen.
