Slow to anger is stronger than the mighty

Many people believe anger is their strength. We use our anger to control other people. Many times, we use our anger to get our way or even use it as our "shield" so no one can hurt us. And we believe because of our anger, other people will be afraid of us and "respect" us.

However, if we read this verse, it states that those who are slow to anger are better than the mighty, meaning those who are patient are STRONGER than those who are powerful. Those who control their spirit are STRONGER or BETTER than those who conquer the whole city.

In conclusion, it is better to be able to control our own selves (spirit, soul and emotion) than control other people by using our anger.

God created our emotion not to control or hurt others. Instead, He wants us to use it to bring glory to His name!


Better a patient person than a warrior,
those with self-control than those who take a city.
