1. When my response is disproportionate to the problem. Like
the Ohio woman who was told she couldn’t get chicken nuggets because McDonald’s
was still serving breakfast. She flipped out, threw punches, and broke the
drive-thru window. That’s not about McNuggets. When normal inconveniences
prompt rage, unresolved anger is spilling out. Eph. 4:31
2. When anger is my default emotion. Whatever
your friend says, what the kids do, how your spouse responds, or what the boss
requires, it makes you mad. You’re mad a lot. It shows on your face, it comes
out in your speech. That’s a sign anger from the past is lurking. Prov. 22:24
3. When I cannot forgive those who wronged me.
If you can think of someone who you don’t want to let off the hook, someone you
wish the worst, someone whose past behavior dominates your thoughts, you have
unresolved anger. Forgiveness is the only way forward. Eph. 4:32
