Proverbs 26:21
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire;
so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Here we are warned again about putting out the fire of strife. Being contentious will contribute to the fire of conflict. Being contentious means being argumentative and contending for our positions. We ought rather leave things and allow the Lord to fight for us. State what needs to be said and drop it. If we go on and on we will be like burning colas and wood to fire. Be quiet within and quiet without. Settle your soul and let the peace of Christ reign and rule in your hearts. Don’t be that contentious woman. Don’t be that hot burning coal. Watch the fire of strife begin to diminish and resolution take place because you chose to not be contentious.
