We all know what it feels like to be hot-tempered. When something happens that makes us angry, the fire in us just gets bigger and hotter. But here, the writer of Proverbs gives us a glimpse at the other kind of person. A cool-tempered person works to calm, to keep peace, to stop the fire of anger before it gets too big. It’s not always easy, but with God’s help, we can choose to keep a cool temper when we’re frustrated or angry. And that, in turn, will help us find peace. What is it in your life that causes you to have a hot temper? Pray this week for God’s help in changing your response the next time you’re faced with that person or circumstance.
