ARE YOU AN A.H.?

Through the years I have met many professing Christian people who just can't let go of things, especially when it comes to being hurt by others. I have to admit at times I fit that category. These people can be called an A. H. Now before you get too offended, A.H. in my terminology stands for ANGER HOLDER (you thought it was something else didn't you?).
All throughout the Bible God reminds us that He is in charge of the retribution for those who harm us, but for some reason we can't let go of dwelling on even the smallest of offenses, let alone the really big ones. Each one of us can analyze why we do it until we are blue, but if we really look closely, a question arises:
DO YOU TRUST GOD?
Ok, I feel you bristling again... "Well of course I trust God!", you say.
What is trust? I looked it up for you:
(a) a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of someone or something
(b) acceptance without evidence or investigation.
Now think for a moment about the anger you are holding and I will ask you the question again, "Do you trust God?"
If your answer is yes than you must put your belief in the reliability, truth and strength of His Word, and yes with no evidence or investigation into the situation, you need to accept that God will take care of whatever you are willing to put into His hands.
The key word here is trust. The Word says in Proverbs 3:5-6 (5) Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (6) acknowledge him in all your ways and He will direct your paths.
When we hold anger, we are working in our own understanding and acknowledging ourselves not Him.
So remember, if anyone accuses you today of being an A.H., tell them you are a child of God and you are trusting Him in whatever situation you come into.
