for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord , and turn away from evil.

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord , my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:13-14, ESV
With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome temptation and avoid sin. Then, may we share the glories of God, our faithful Savior!
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger
Ephesians 4:26, ESV
There is enough in this world to make us angry, and that we are right to be angry about. Our anger should not control us or lead us to break God’s Law or forget the image of God in others.
And of we only get angrier and bitter, give it to God and find good ways to help the situation.
