(Prov 26:21 NKJV) As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
It’s so easy to get drawn into a disagreement or heated discussion with someone when they start running their mouth or directing words of contention toward us.
It doesn’t matter whether the other person is a believer or unbeliever, the words they say to us can hurt and cause us to want to argue back and get caught up in the heat of the moment.
As we grow and mature as believers we need to recognize these situations and learn how to handle them, or avoid them completely. Arguing with people never gets us anywhere and never produces fruit, especially for the kingdom of God.
God wants us to have discernment and know when to speak and when to walk away. Our lives will be much easier because of it and His light will shine more brightly through us.
So today, be on your toes and let God show you when to speak and when not to. It’ll make your day so much better!
