Why Am I Angered?

Mark 3:1-5 (New International Version)
1Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."
4Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent.
5He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.

(copied from the Nooma video "Store" guide) "Anger is simply an emotion. It's just your body's way of telling you that your will has been blocked. What you want to happen isn't happening. The problem isn't anger; the problem is what we do with it. It's where we take it. It's where we go with it. The question is, why am I angered? Because my anger is going to lead somewhere."

Have you asked yourself why something makes you angry? Where did your anger lead? By doing a self-evaluation, we can hope to recognize those areas that causes us to become angry, and by doing so, finding a way to release those emotions in a more constructive way.
