Jonah's Story: Is It Right For You To Be Angry?

The fact that God gave us various emotions to express ourselves is amazing, especially when word's don't suffice.  However, clinging onto a specific emotion is not healthy, particularly anger.  

In today's episode, I'm going to read and break down the entire book of Jonah to show you how even a man of God can succumb to the things that tempt us, which in his case was anger.  And as you'll see, it was all. the. time.  Moreover, his reason for being angry was greatly fogging his perspective that was also keeping his heart hardened.  

All that to say, it's a good thing that God doesn't condemn our anger, but He's not gonna sit there and condone it either, especially if our reasons for being angry in the first place are unacceptable, thus is why He presents not just Jonah, but us as well, the question “is it right for you to be angry?”  This of course is to not only provoke thought, but also an opportunity to repent. 

Please note that this is according to the best of my current knowledge and understanding.  I encourage anyone to please check and verify as the scripture encourages all believers to do so.  There may be times where I have overlooked and/or misunderstood information by mistake which is why verifying is important if you feel led by the Holy Spirit to do so.
