When God says .......

When God says .......

Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases. As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife. (Proverbs 26:20, 21 NKJV)

He reminds us for caution, when malicious gossip and quarrelsome forces are at work, discord and tension follow its wake. Nothing good or beneficial gained out of its presence. Those forces are rooted in negative, cynical and stubborn heart. They must be rooted out and stopped. 

Rid of the wood and the charcoal. Instead, Apostle Peter writes:-  Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing. Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; Snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you’re worth. God looks on all this with approval, listening and responding well to what he’s asked; But he turns his back on those who do evil things. (1 Peter 3:8-12 MSG)

Let us therefore migrate from the dominion of contention into the sanctuary of God's throne of grace.

And I say ... AMEN!
