Out of Sorts?



Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

Ephesians 4:31

Day two of the New Year and you get up feeling mean and angry.  This is not a good sign.  What is the cure?

God made us and God knows that we get angry and grouchy over all sorts of things. 

We can move on from our grouchy state by becoming overcomers – that is we overcome all the little and big aggravations which plague us by forgiving both those who we perceive transgress against us and ourselves for not being everything we think we should be. 

It is only forgiveness that can restore our hearts and minds to a place where we can greet the day saying, “This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it.”  (Psalm 118:24)

Forgive, forget and rejoice.
