Proverbs 13:10
Only by pride cometh
contention:
but with the well
advised is wisdom.
The scriptures warn us about being contentious women. When we are contentious we are hard to get
along with. We are easily annoyed. We tend to almost want to argue or
disagree. Here is an incredible insight
into the source of such an attitude - Pride. Hmmmm - some of you are not surprised. You know how you are in your view of yourself
and others when you get like this. “It
is my way or no way”. “I deserve this or
that”. “If they would change, I wouldn’t
be like this.” Contention involves self
focus. Oh that we would be women who
humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and seek to please Him! This would cause the contention to
cease. The surprising thing about this
verse is that the lord says that contention comes ONLY by pride – not PMS, not
due to financial pressures, but ONLY by pride.
Let us come before Him now and ask Him for humility of mind so that we
won’t be that contentious woman that is like a dripping faucet.
