THE MARK OF HONOUR

Prov20:3 Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling. NLT

I have heard some folks that take pride in their ability to cause trouble with people or even quarrel, anywhere quarreling is, you'll find them there because it has become part of their genome. From the opening text, such folks are fools.

The true mark of honour is in your ability to live at peace with others and maintain that peace. The famous beattitude says the peace makers shall be called true sons of God. A wise man said 'fools blow up in the face of anger'.

There are things that will tempt you and I to quarrel but we must build spiritual capacity to hold ourself in and be controlled. Anything or anyone that will tempt you into picking quarrels must be avoided.

The mark of honour is to avoid a fight.

Action point

-I receive grace to live in peace In Jesus Name.
