Any Fool Can Do THIS!
"Live in harmony with one another. Do not
be proud, but be willing to associate with
people of low position. Do not be conceited."
Romans 12:16, NIV
Do you ever quarrel with someone you love? Nothing
good comes from it. That’s why Proverbs
17:14 says,
“The beginning of strife is like releasing
water; therefore
stop contention before a quarrel starts.”
More to the
point, Proverbs 20:3 says, “It is
honorable for a man
to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.”
Who wants to hear a concert when the instruments
are out of tune? Discordant notes make us
wince.
But when the instruments are playing in harmony,
trumpets, drums, violins, and the rest, the music
is a pleasure to hear.
Yes, we sometimes have honest disagreements and
must work through them. But there’s really no place
for us to be childish and quarrelsome. The Bible says:
“A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle
to all, able to teach, patient” (2 Timothy 2:24).
If you’re quarreling with someone you love, make
it a matter of prayer, and ask God to give you a
harmonious attitude, one of humility, gentleness,
and patience.
"When we’re in tune with God,
we’ll be in harmony with each other."
