Anger Day 1

Day 1

Anger/ Angry

orge- any natural ipulse, or desire, or disposition. Anger is the strongest of all passions. It is the wrath of man. It suggests a more settled or abiding condition of mind, frequently with a view to taking revenge. Less sudden, more lasting in its nature. It is an active emotion.

thumos- agitated condition of the feelings, an outburst of wrath from inward indignation. Sudden, inward feeling quickly blazes up then subsides. Revenge isn't usually the outcome.

parorgismus- a strengthened form of orge. what provokes wrath. less continued state than orge.

orgizo- implies a just occassion for the feeling. Hebrew word that signifies to quiver with strong emotion, to provoke, to arouse to anger.

aganaktesis- physical pain or irritation. Made up of 2 words combined to mean very much, to grieve.

chalao/chole- gall, bile - metaphorically signified bitter anger, means to be enraged.

Wow, looks like I have my work cut out for me this week. One word with so many meenings, no wonder it is such a strong feeling, we don't know how to explain it easily. I hope I can bring some insight to this that will leave us better equipped to recognize and respond correctly to this emotion. If you have any type of a testimony about anger, and you would like to share, send it to womenofworship1@gmail.com. Thank you.

Please pray for Kelly M. this week.

19 My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry. 20 A man's anger doesn't produce the kind of life God wants. James 1:19-20

Dear Lord, I thank you for this week and for what I have already learned about anger. I am going to pray right now for an extra measure of patience. Especially this week as I double as mom and dad to our 3 daughters. Will you also bless those who need to read this, will it help them in some way to walk closer with you. Amen
