Danger Zone

I had a friend once that got angry very easily. There were times when she was mad at her dad and she would hit me. It doesn't seem fair does it? It isn't fair! It's not right that she hit me just because she was angry with him. Maybe you have found yourself in a position like that where someone gets angry easily. Perhaps it's a friend, a relative, or a neighbor. God loves you and wants to protect you. How do we get ourselves into situations like that?

If we see people who get angry easy, we should not be around them.

Proverbs 22:24-25, "Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul." (KJV)

If you are in a situation and it happens suddenly there is something you can do about it. Simply be calm and talk softly, then walk away politely.

Proverbs 15:1, " A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." (KJV)

Raising our voices only stirs up anger in the person and in ourselves.

If you are ever in a situation where you are in danger of being hurt, you must seek help immediately. When I was in school as a young girl I was afraid to 'tell' on a person and there were times when I should have. However, I did everything I could to avoid those people in the future. I pray that this truth from God's word will be helpful to you. Do all you can to stay out of the danger zone.
