Ecclesiastes 7:9: Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools.
There are times when we are filled with righteous anger and react accordingly and appropriately.
But, if we're honest, those times are few and far between.
What is far more likely to happen is that we are filled with unrighteous anger and we lose our temper, overreacting inappropriately. And wind up looking like a fool.
Yup, that's much more common, unfortunately.
May we be purposeful about guarding our temper and our tongue, exercising self-control, responding with love and gentleness instead of anger and harshness, relying on His strength and not our own.
