Wherever there is strife, this is also present!

Disagreement is normal to humans. We are full of ideas, points of view and different perspectives. It is during these these times that truth is an anchor, and can help to settle disagreements. We know that God’s word is truth, and we can lean on His word to settle our disputes. However, there are those that will fight against God’s word. They feel that their perspective is right, and they will fight to the bitter end to have their way. This is where pride can cause great destruction in one’s life (Proverbs 16:18 ” Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall”). Conversely, there are those who receive advice and correction from the word as well as godly mentors. The scriptures reveal that these people are wise. Are you one who is always trying to get his or her way no matter what, or are  you able to humble yourself and receive from God’s word and from others? Remember: There is wisdom in taking sound advice!

Proverbs 13:10 “Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice”
