When you dig deep, anger is about spiritual allegiances. Who will you trust? Our anger indicates that we really don’t trust God. Therefore, when we identify anger in our lives, we can’t simply say, “I am going to stop being angry.” Such a resolution is admirable, but it is a shortcut that is doomed to fail. Anger is ultimately about God. It shows that we don’t trust him, and it becomes an opportunity to know him better.
