Expired!
Ephesians 4:6. "Be angry, yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your indignation."
for women only*
The expiration date is the day we become angry.
Now that is a hard one!
But we all know what happens when we let our anger stew. Next thing we know anger has turned into bitterness, bitterness that can last for years.
We have to deal with our anger right away. Take a moment (or a few) and calm down and then pray about how God wants you to deal with the situation.
Other verses to consider are:
James 1:19,20
"You know this, my beloved brothers; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
1:20 For the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God."
We have the choice as to whether we even become angry in the first place. With the help of the Holy Spirit we can learn to take control of our emotions.
1 Cor Chapter 13 is a good place to read to remind us what Christians are to be about.
*Scripture is clear that as a woman I cannot teach men or have authority over any man.
