Dogs generally give a warning before they bite. It might be a growl, a bark, or showing their teeth. When a dog gives the warning, it is generally best to heed that warning. There is nothing wrong with anger. And, I think it is OK to show that we are angry. However, we must be sure to keep our anger under control and ensure that our response is measured.
I have been angry a couple of times this week. Some things really set me off, particularly when someone spreads untruths (lies) about me. That happened this week, as well as being accused of a few other things. It angered me. And, I had to "show my teeth" a little. And, sometimes, that is OK. Just remember to not let your anger control you. You must control it.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: ~Ephesians 4:26
I does make one angry when someone lies about you. People often would rather believe the lies than find out the real truth. In the "big scheme" of things the lies don't really matter............what matters is what you know about your self. And, how you are measuring up in God's sight.
