9 The light of the righteous shines brightly,
but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
10 Where there is strife, there is pride,but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
but wisdom is found in those who take advice. Proverbs 13:9-11
Did you have a struggle with anyone this week? Do you find times when strife is taking place, you don't want to back down because you know that you are right? Not backing down can be considered sin, if you let pride take over a situation. It is very easy to slip into this type of sin because many of us typically feel strongly about whatever we believe in and aren't willing to let go. We should be a light that shines brightly in these situations and gain wisdom by listening to those around us as the scripture says. Many of us probably don't think we can learn anything when we have strife, but God has plenty for us to learn. We don't need to slip into strife, but we need to be humble and respect those around us. God has placed individuals in our path so we can grow by listening and not letting pride take over.
Have a great weekend.
