One Who Is Angry

"But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, took great indignation, and mocked the Jews."  Nehemiah 4:1.   Sanballat was grieved that one would seek the welfare of the children of Israel.  Nehemiah 2:10.  Some will not do good themselves, and yet, are disturbed that someone else will.  Sanballat was furious over the work of Nehemiah.  Anger that breeds indignation is harmful.  The heart will be robbed of peace.  Hate and malice will enter the void.  Anger corrupts and destroys.  It breeds contempt.  Anger removes the alliance of help and unity.  Character is tainted and reputation destroyed.  Sanballat's anger led him not only to oppose Nehemiah and the good work of rebuilding the wall, but also, he opposed God.  Anger leads one away from God.  Anger will finally bring ruin.
