In DC Comics, The Flash is called "the fastest man alive." Thanks to a science experiment that went wrong, The Flash can run as fast as lightning. When he really gets going, he can run around the entire globe several times a second. This is a pretty useful superpower — it's pretty hard for bad guys to run away from a guy who's faster than light! — But it's got some downsides. Sometimes, we all need to take it slow.

Think about it . . . sometimes, the first thing you think of isn't the best idea you could come up with. Sometimes when you take a minute to slow down and really process a complicated situation, you think of a better solution than you would have if you'd just rushed ahead and went with your gut. In fact, it's safe to say that a lot of the times when you feel like you most need to hurry up are the exact times you should probably take a second and make sure you're doing the right thing.

This is how the Bible teaches us to think about what we do when we're angry. When you're mad, you're not necessarily thinking clearly. That means that the first thing you think of to do when you lose your temper may not be the wisest thing you can think of to do. That's why God tells us to be slow to anger.

What are some ways you can think of to slow down when you get mad?
