Red is the color of being hot, when a person is steaming we normally say that person is red hot! The red fox represents anger or wrath. It is an emotion of instant displeasure that arises from the feeling of injury done or intended by someone. Ephesians 4:26, "Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath:" Angry will happen to everyone at sometime in your life. Nevertheless, how you deal with this anger makes a world of difference. If the red fox is not dealt with properly, it can easily lead to sin. Paul's letter said it right, Be angry and do not sin, don't sleep on it, nor give room for the devil to reside.
There are so many ways to get your anger under control such get some space, exercise, don't hold a grudge, identify solutions to the situation and practice relaxation skills.
Seek to understand before you seek to be understood. James 1:19 says "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:" It is important to try listening and seeing it from other person's perspective. Way to slay the red fox of anger is to forgive the offender. When you forgive someone you are free to see them the way Christ does.
