“A gentle answer turns away wrath”, as per Proverbs fifteen
“Be completely humble and gentle”, in Ephesians four is seen
On the same topic, in Philippians four from Paul we hear
“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near”
He continues “Do not be anxious about anything”
But present requests to God with thanksgiving
From First Peter three, doing right results in being blessed
Doing everything with gentleness set us apart from the rest
In Isaiah chapter forty, a shepherd is what God is called
He gently gathers, carries, and leads without being stalled
Zechariah, in chapter nine, about Jesus did prophesize
The Son of God would be righteous, gentle, and wise
In Matthew eleven, “I will give you rest”, Jesus did impart
“Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart”
Like a city with broken down walls, says Psalm twenty five
Is a man in whom self-control does not constantly thrive
Titus chapter two says to “teach the older men to be”
Temperate, self-controlled, and loving faithfully
Similarly, women should be self-controlled and pure
And kind so that God’s Word they do not obscure
In Second Peter chapter one, faith leads to goodness
Then knowledge, self-control, perseverance, and godliness
Along with increasing measures of brotherly kindness and love
To ensure we are effective in sharing knowledge from above
“The Lord is…slow to anger” per Psalm one hundred three
“Compassionate and gracious”, “abounding in love” is He
In Psalm one hundred forty five, those words David did repeat
David’s words of praise are ongoing and are never obsolete
“The Lord takes vengeance on his foes”, says Nahum one
“Slow to anger and great in power” are God and His Son
