Fleshly frustration will bring out the worst in the believer if we are not led by the Holy Spirit. The devil who controls wicked people knows our weakness and preys up on them.
When we are in the Word daily, praying for strength to be as we should be before God, then we will not have to "react" to anything that comes against us.
James 1:19
"This you know, my beloved brethren But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;"
2 Timothy 1:7
"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline."
It is the goal of the devil to bring out the fleshly nature in us, to bring us down to his level, effectively taking away our power through Christ.
John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."
Wrong reactions to a provocation comes from fear of being out of control. We need not be in control of everything, we can allow Christ Who lives in us to be in control, He will deal with the devil when he attacks us.
