Angry Birds Video Game<\/h3>\nAngry Birds! An interesting title to an addictive video game. This game can be played for hours on your phone or electronic device. Believe me, I know. Apparently, the birds in this game are angry because the pigs must have stolen their eggs. The objective of the game then becomes to eliminate all the pigs in each level. Using a slingshot, players launch various birds through the air with the goal of either striking the enemy pigs directly or damaging their surrounding structures. Thus, causing the blocks to collapse and \u201cpop\u201d the pigs.\n

Anger Sets In<\/h3>\nFor those of you who have not been introduced to this game, I\u2019m sure it sounds quite bizarre. To the rest of us, anger is the only remedy for deletion. Angry because way too much time has been invested in launching angry birds. However, this is only trivial when it comes to anger in daily living. Are you someone who gets angry in traffic? Do you throw a conniption fit watching your favorite sports team lose? Is there yelling, cold tensions, and harsh words spoken in the home? Minor irritations can become major issues. Sad can turn into mad.\n

The Devil Works Through Anger<\/h3>\nWe are told in Ephesians 4:26<\/a> \u201cIn your anger do not sin\u201d:\u00a0Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. The Lord makes it clear that we will get angry in life. But in that anger, we don\u2019t have to give in to sin. We can take whatever ignited our anger to God. Make sure that at the end of the day we do not give \u201cthe devil a foothold\u201d from the result of our anger. 2 Corinthians 10:5<\/a> tells us before our heart and mind have a chance to turn to anger, turn all the attention to the obedience of Christ.\n

Let God Help<\/h3>\nDuring that moment, we can choose what we are going to think and dwell on. We can continue to fuel our angry emotions with wrong thoughts\u2026or we can take a stand and, with God\u2019s help, refuse to allow the situation to get out of control.\u00a0In James 1:19-20<\/a> we learn, \u201cLet every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.\u201d James basically tells us the same thing. That we must curb our anger by filling our hearts and minds with the righteousness of God.\n\nI know it might be easier said than done sometimes. Especially if that enemy the pig steals your eggs. This is why Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:44<\/a>, \u201cBut I say, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you\u2026\u201d The sun is going to rise on the good and bad. Rain is going to fall on the just and unjust. The key is how you react. God wants us to turn from sad to glad with His righteousness. Why should, metaphorically speaking, an \u201cangry bird and a pig\u201d get in the way of that?\n\nDear Lord, help me let go of my anger and place it into your hands. Amen.\n
