Slow to Anger

Psalm 145:8 "The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love."

The problem with "slow to anger" is that you cannot read the "mood barometer" of the person who is "slow to anger". People that are slow to anger take irritation, and take it, and take it. Then, *WHAM*, they burst and leave you in shock and awe because there really wasn't much warning of their growing anger.

In Psalm 2:12 it says,
"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him."

So, "... for his wrath can flare up in a moment" tells us that Jesus is slow to anger and thus we should actually be careful and not rash. We assume "slow to anger" means we can be extra careless sand it will be okay. Actually, this should warn us to be on our guard for our behavior because we don't really know in what moment His wrath can flare up. Take care!
