Your Question:
What's the best way to handle my anger towards my business partner?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father, I've seen my fair share of anger issues, and I believe the best way to handle anger towards a business partner is to address it in a way that's similar to how we would handle our children's anger. In the Bible, we're taught about different tools for handling anger, such as rebuke, encouragement, patient instruction, and the rod of correction. When it comes to addressing anger in a business partner, I think it's essential to understand the root cause of their anger. Are they angry because they feel their rights or glory have been violated? Or is it a sinful anger, driven by impatience or selfishness? Once we understand the root cause, we can choose the right tool to address the issue. For example, if it's a matter of impatience, a patient instruction or encouragement might be the best approach. If it's a matter of sinful anger, a rebuke or the rod of correction might be necessary. Ultimately, the key to handling anger in a business partner is to seek wisdom from God. As James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." By asking God for wisdom and guidance, we can navigate even the most challenging situations with confidence and compassion. Just as my wife Susan prayed for our son Joshua to be controlled by the Holy Spirit rather than his emotions, we can pray for our business partners to be guided by God's wisdom and love.
