“An angry man stirreth up strife, And a furious man aboundeth in transgression. A man's pride shall bring him low: But honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.”
Proverbs 29:22-23 KJV
Wisdom from above says, “The source of strife is found in an angry heart, for sin surrounds the life of a furious man. Lift yourself up with pride and you will soon be brought low, but a meek and humble spirit will add to your honor.” Strife is the work of the flesh when we don’t give importance to our relationships and take offence and harbour grudges. Pride and ego keep us from either seeking forgiveness or forgiving others. If we want to live honourably, meekness and humility is key to our behaviour pattern. When we remember that God made Jesus Who knew no sin, to become sin for us so that we in Christ would become the righteousness of God, we are in awe of the humility of Jesus our Lord. Grace is the power of God to enable us to release the faith of Jesus Christ to overcome our challenges, instead of taking offence or harbouring grudges. We who believe in the Lord Jesus know that we are crucified with Christ, nevertheless we live; yet not we but Christ lives in us and the life we live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God Who loves us and gave Himself for us. Let’s be quick to forgive, quick not to take offence, and to not harbour grudges in our heart. Thank You Jesus!
