Hello ,
The 18th-century British physician John Hunter, who was a pioneer in the field of surgery and served as surgeon to King George III, suffered from angina. Discovering that his attacks were often brought on by anger, Hunter lamented, "My life is at the mercy of any scoundrel who chooses to put me in a passion."
These words proved prophetic, for at a meeting of the board of St. George's Hospital in London, Hunter got into a heated argument with other board members, walked out, and dropped dead in the next room. *
Anger can do some pretty amazing things to us physically. The same God who calmed the angry waves long ago, can calm us down as well when turn to Him. The words, "Peace be still," are sometimes needed in our own hearts when someone pushes us toward the edge of anger.
Lord, hep me to always turn to you...even when I can feel myself getting angry. Amen!
Have a great day and God bless!
