No one likes to give up in the middle of an argument, or else he will be seen as a loser. The devil also don’t want anyone to give up in the middle of any quarrel. Even though you know it is not pleasant. Yet something in you doesn’t want you to give up (Proverbs 18:6-7). The Bible says the beginning of strife is like the release of locked water. You may not be able to determine the kind of materials carried with water; neither do you know the evil it can cause nor the end of it.
That quarrelsome nature that is in you, you may not be able to imagine its effects. You will be wise to always learn to avoid it. And when it happens, always be a party to stop it. When strife starts, it does begin to come with provoking words; the devil stands at both ends to see to their destruction.
Don’t be deceived. There is nothing good strife and quarrel will earn you. Some use to think they are trying to silence or threaten others, but this purpose can’t be achieved by striving. The defeated will always want to strike back. Avoid quarrelling; it doesn’t give birth to good things. Moreover, be ready to be cheated for the sake of peace (Matthew 5:40). Then you are walking in wisdom.
Prayer: Lord, give me the wisdom to know when to walk
