In fact, recent medical research has found new
evidence linking heart disease and anger. According to an Associated Press
release, Dr. Redford B. Williams Jr. and some of his colleagues did a
personality study of one hundred and eighteen students in law school. They were
graded on their hostility. Twenty-five years later, twenty percent of those who
had scored highest as being angry persons had died, compared with only five
percent of those who had registered lowest (Quoted by Paul Van Gorder in, 365 Series Together with God: Psalms,
April 14).
The Bible provides a timeless truth
that we should not let the sun go down while we are still angry (Ephesians
4:26).
