The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so abandon the quarrel before it breaks out. Prov 17:14
A story is told about a Dutch boy who was walking beside a dike when he noticed the dike was leaking through a small hole. He stuck his finger in the hole to keep the leak from getting bigger and bigger. His quick action saved the village from a flood. Strife between people can be just like that. Strife is a drip that can turn into a flood. Before it does, let's take action to plug the strife and save a destructive quarrel. Let's be alert and ready to stop strife before it gets destructive.
