We all have various assets that we treasure and do not want to lose. One of our most valuable possessions should be our temper. That is something we should not lose. Loss of our temper causes words and actions to fly out of us that we really do not mean. We often have to spend much more time and energy repairing the damage from losing our temper than we would have spent keeping it.

Proverbs 16:32 informs us that a man who keeps his temper is stronger than one who takes a city. Our temper is one or our possessions. It is to our benefit not to lose it.
