Angry Birds

Students at New Mexico State University had trouble walking to class last fall after hawks built nests in trees by the gym. The mother hawks considered pedestrians threats to their hatchlings, and several students sustained injuries from the dive-bombing birds. One person was struck hard enough to suffer post-concussion symptoms that included dizziness and nausea.

If there’s anything worse than an unexpected encounter with an angry hawk, it’s having a face-off with an angry person. We never know when we’ll encounter an irritable or irate driver, customer, coworker, boss, or stranger. The air nowadays is filled with angry birds. Sometimes they even nest under our roofs. And sometimes the angriest bird is the one in the mirror.

But consider this. Our attitude toward others reveals our genuine attitude toward God. When someone is angry, it’s often symptomatic of spiritual need. When we’re out of sorts, it’s a reflection of our spiritual health. In our approach to others today and in our responses, let’s be as gentle as possible. Be patient. Angry reactions do not bring about the righteous results God desires.

…for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
James 1:20

Have a blessed day!
