Proverbs 26:4
This may sound like a common sense type of statement. But all to often this can be true of how we portray ourselves. To many times we want to be right and we know what another is saying is not "the right way to look at it" or its not a correct view point so we argue our point. We want to make sure that he is corrected.
What is the result of such actions? We put the person in their place? We feel better getting the "truth" out there? Dont get me wrong, I am not saying not to challenge someone when the time is right. Proverbs does go on to state: "Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes." There is a time and place to do such confrontation but this verse is saying check yourself.
What is the motive behind the confrontation?
Thought for the day: Do I follow a fool in his folly or confront in love?
