Grace for your spirit April 2, 2008

Grace for your spirit
For lack of wood, the fire goes out. And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down. Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle strife. Prov 26:21-22

When we see a roaring fire, the small spark the started the blaze is almost forgotten. It takes an expert to walk into the ashes and determine the cause. The same is often true when there is strife among men. When contention leads to arguments and fighting. How did the whole thing begin? God knows that there is often a whisperer that provokes and promotes the strife. At the time of explosion between people, the person that lit the fire, is nowhere to be seen. Don’t let a whisperer with evil motives start the wrong kind of fire in us. Let’s avoid giving the whisperer our ear, avoid the contention, and live a life and love and peace.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
