Stomp out Pride


Proverbs 13: 10
Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
 
There are many reasons for quarrels and conflicts within a family/marriage, or even a church, but pride is probably the most common cause of the offense.
Our sinful human nature, sow damaging seeds within most conflicts.
 
Followers of Jesus, often experience fighting or conflict within themselves.
It is a battle of that old sinful nature, and what should be their new spiritual nature.
 
Did you ever stop to think, that you and I might have to give up our rights, to bring an end to conflict?
Praying for peace, can only come, by bringing conflict to the Prince of Peace.
Is that the process you use, to stomp out disagreement?
 
Maybe when someone disagrees with us, if we took the high road of graciousness and gentleness, we could bring an end to the madness.
Our knee jerk reaction, is often to bring about anger and a defensive spirit during an argument.
 
If right now you’re thinking of someone who should practice this approach, you’re probably the one who needs most work in this area.
Take some good advice, and you might be seen as the wise one……………
