Hey, we're so glad you're here because today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, Rick's sharing the biblical

wisdom we need to have great relationships. And let's admit it, we can all use that. So let's get right to

it with Pastor Rick Warren for the final part of a message called Who is Pushing Your Buttons.

When somebody starts to come push your buttons

and they want to irritate you, they may do it visibly

or they may do it hidden, they may do a bit

in a manipulative way, you think before reacting,

you think before you speak,

because anger control is largely a matter of mouth

control and you don't respond impulsively. You put your mind in gear before you put your

your mouth in gear. Proverbs 13, 16, sensible people always think before they act.

Proverbs 29.11, a fool gives full vent to his anger. He said, that's foolish. If I give

full vent to my anger, it says, I'm just a fool. A fool gives full vent to his anger.

But a wise person quietly holds it back. And in the Hebrew there, it literally means it

cools it. He holds it down and cools his anger. He waits for it to cool. Now, this is why we know

that chill out is a biblical term. Cool it, chill out.

You know, let it go down.

Now, if while you're waiting, while you're waiting, what do you do?

You're asking yourself questions.

And let me give you three questions to ask while you're waiting.

Write these down.

Three questions.
