“The Spirit of God came upon Saul mightily… and he became very angry” (v6). Anger is often a mix of feelings of disrespect and disdain.  It may become justification for violence and other ungodly acts. However, Saul was rightly angry at the diabolical threat of the Ammonites to gouge out the right eye of every male (v2) in a city that was surrendering. His anger reflected the anger of God. Perhaps that is the standard of godly anger.

God gave us a capacity for anger to move us to act against injustice, to protect the weak, but when motivated by pride, it is pernicious, diabolical. Few emotions have been more  corrupted by Adam’s “fall”. Handle with care.
