Proverbs - Pride and Strife



Proverbs 28:25

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife:
 but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.

When someone seems to always cause strife, we can be assured they have a proud heart.  This means that we mustn’t allow ourselves to be taken down the road of contention and arguing by someone with a proud heart.  If we find ourselves rather contentious we should seek to go off before the Lord and humble ourselves before Him asking Him to help us not be arrogant and proud.  When we find ourselves contentious let us put our trust in the Lord.  We don’t have to prove our point and we don’t have to be right.  We can trust the Lord to be our defense and humble ourselves under His mighty hand.  He will lift us up.
