Good morning, everyone, and welcome.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another morning with the Masters.

We're devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

It's just me today, folks, who are picking up with day three of our The Enemies of the Heart, Devotional. In the Bible app, there's a link to it in the description of the podcast. If you guys want to follow along. And as always, I'm a nerd of the scripture. In this episode, I'm also going to read the Devo. The scripture is Ephesians chapter 4 versus 25 through 27. And it says this. So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are

all parts of the same body. And don't sin by letting your anger control you. Don't let the sun go down

while you're still angry. For anger gives a foothold to the devil.

The title of this devotional is letting go of hurt and anger.

And it says this.

The second enemy of the heart is anger.

We get angry when we don't get what we want.

Show me an angry person and I'll show you a hurt person.

And I guarantee you that person is hurt because something has been taken. Somebody owes them something. We all know people whose anger could be verbalized in one of the following ways. You hurt my reputation. You hurt my family. You wasted the best years of my life. You impacted my marriage negatively.

You robbed me of my teenage years.

You robbed me of my purity.

You owe me this.

You owe me an opportunity to try.

You owe me a second chance.

You owe me love.

You owe me affection, et cetera.

The root of anger is in the perception that something has been taken.

Something is owed to you.

And now a debt-to-debtor relationship has been established.
