Short fuse

Good morning my blogging friends........as I was doing my devotion this morning....I was kinda thinking it went along with yesterdays post........

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
KJV : Proverbs 14:29

I think this is where patience steps in....I know in my life....I have a very short fuse especially when it comes to my immediately family. I bite my tongue with others and then explode when I have had enough. I know God doesn't want us to act or react in this manner.

Commentary
The development of a slow fuse is a not a mark of lethargy, but of wisdom. Fools fly off the handle easily and confirm their folly.
In the Bible, the most foolish person of all is one who denies the reality of God the Father: "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God' " (Ps. 14:1; 53:1). Like the Book of Proverbs, where "fool" denotes a person who is morally and spiritually deficient, Jesus contrasted wise and foolish persons. Persons who keep His sayings are wise; those who do not are foolish (Matt. 7:24-27). The use of the word "fool" in Matthew 5:22 is a special case. Jesus warned against using the word fool as a form of abuse. This word expressed hatred in one's heart toward others; therefore, Jesus condemned the use of the word in this way.
Paul called the preaching of the crucified Christ "foolishness" in the eyes of unbelievers. For believers, however, the message of the cross is the power and wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:23-24).

I am not proud of acting in this way and I am truly working on this. A short fuse can get you in trouble and is by no way wise. Let us all work on our short tempers.....stop, count to ten and think the situation through......I know....I know.....easier said than done...LOL

Sorry this is short but I am in class.............I am substitute for the ag. teacher. FFA went to Indianapolis, Indiana this week and I was ask to fill in for the whole week. Actually I have enjoyed it. Learned alot from the little country kids...yee-haw.

Gotta go...but until next time.....try to keep your patience today and don't let that short fuse EXPLODE.
