"Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm."\
Proverbs 3:30
There is a time to stand and fight. But why would anyone fight with another person who caused him no harm? One reason is that some people are simply contentious. They just like to keep an argument going. But in my case, it is my pride. I don't like my ego or integrity being attacked. So I fight back. And for what? Not to protect God's truth, but simply to defend my honor. Jesus strove with the religious leaders because of eternal truth, but never to defend his own personhood. I really need to work of this area of my life.
Today's Thought: Fights need to be chosen carefully in the light of truth.
Have a peaceful day. Love you.
