(4:26,27) The Greek word for "angry" is orge, which means a settled indignation based on a studied attitude of rejection. There is a place in the Christian's life for being predisposed against sin and unrighteousness. In situations where that attitude is warranted, do not let sin creep in and corrupt. "Provocation" is a different concept. That is an attitude of irritation, aggravation, and/or bitterness. That is what the believer is to avoid, for it robs you of presence of mind, joy, and focus on the Word of God. In addition, it is the thing that brings stress into your life with serious cardiac results. (The Word of God is not only profound, it is extremely practical)
