See narrative context is important :) I'd add a warning about the limitations of a word study. While you'll find a great deal about "anger" by doing a word study much will be left out as well. Psalm 137 should be part of any study on anger, but it won't show up in a word search. - Peace Dave Well that improves the post quite a bit. See narrative context is important :)

It was not meant to be a guide to reading scripture in large chunks. Thanks Dave.

While that is one way to do a word study, it by no means the normative way to read scripture. Scripture is mostly given to us in the form of narrative and this process completely destroys that. To read the narrative in scripture you need to read whole books in sequence. Taking notes and discussion with others is a good thing. Read multiple commentaries from the same author, get a deep understanding of the people you are learning from. Answer God in your prayers, the scriptures are written to us. Take it personally and answer personally. - Peace To be honest I was looking for an April fools date on this.
