Dear Quester,

"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."

As the wisest man that ever lived, Solomon might have experienced such before writing. In the sense that, everything he wrote was as a result of a situation or circumstance he went through as a king and as a man.

"Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, hostility or antagonism towards someone or something, usually combined with an urge to harm, often stemming from perceived provocation, hurt, or threat." Anger is also the strong feeling that one has when something has happened that the person thinks is bad or unfair.

I love the second definition better. The truth is that you can't run from anger, and it won't run from you. What do you do to something you can't run from, and won't run from you? You face it. The manner in which you handle anger is what matters. It will surely come.

Proverbs 14:29 in The Living Bible, says: "A wise man controls his temper. He knows that anger causes mistakes."
It is a very understandable scripture, I just pray that as you understand, you also live what you have just understood.
If you haven't learnt how to control or master your anger, sorry to say, you're not wise. Temper is to be controlled, it is not suppose to control you, if it does you loose control of yourself, and cause mistakes.
Being slow to anger actually wins more battles than being fast to react in anger actually. Most especially when you're expected to flare up. So the heir to the throne of Israel, knew this. He knew the benefits of been slow to anger, especially when anger threw its fiery darts at him.

"...ruleth his spirit..."

A man that has charge over his spirit, is better than a man that has possession over and of a city. No matter what you have possessed, if you don't rule your spirit, you won't enjoy the benefits included in the control of your spirit.

1Cor 14:32: "And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets."

Ma and Sir, your spirit is subject to you, meaning you have control over it. The same way it's possible for you choose to starve your spirit or feed it, the same way you have control over your spirit man. Try no de over do some kin things abeg! Heeding to God's will, please put a rein on yourself and spirit.
God bless you!

NOT BY MIGHT
Climbing high and gigantic mountains,
My fingers and toes were sore from pressing on,
You told me to endure!

Setting my feet on the violent raging waters,
That you told me to walk by faith, I waver,
Drowning deep as the strong waves come crashing,
You told me to look up!

Rowing my life's boat, with human strength and vigour,
Owning every stroke I made on the waters,
You told me to surrender!

When I unnecessarily soar on wings as Eagles,
Soaring in pride, instead of settling to wait,
You humbled me by giving me 'chicken wings'.

Throwing away fast strides on the path of life,
Treading the path I chose, instead of treading yours.
You told me to halt!

Happily swinging through my heights in life,
Like jubilating aerobatic monkeys from branch to branch,
You told me to sit and observe!

Continue to teach me that in this walk of life,
Despite my persistent human efforts to do things,
Paying attention to what you have in store for me
Is much more paramount, so I'll clear the noise.
