Yesterday we considered how we get anxious when our idols are threatened.  I suggest we often get angry too.  Some examples:

If I make comfort my god, when I am pulled out of my comfort zone, I am likely to get angry.  If I make sucess (however I define it) my god, and someone or something blocks my success, I am likely to get angry.  If my agenda is my god, and things don’t go according to my plan, I am likely to get angry.  Whatever your idol, when it is threatened you will be tempted to get angry.

So next time you are getting angry, stop and ask why.  What idol is being threatened that you need to knock down?
