WISDOM AND CONTROL ARE BROTHERS

 
 
Proverbs 19:11
 
"Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense." ESV
 
Good sense is applying knowledge in an insightful, true, and discerning way. Using good sense, wisdom, when we are being criticized or belittled by others causes us to endure with peace and confidence that is working out His plan. We can let many disturbing offenses roll off our backs. God is pleased with that.
 
Heavenly Father, so often we have failed to use right thinking, the wisdom, You have given us when we are in an angering situation. Forgive us, Lord. Help us to use wisdom and to just let offenses roll of our backs. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

HUSH UP ABOUT THAT

 
 
Proverbs 17:9

 

"Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends." ESV

 

Love is active, it is always being and doing. Exposing an offense committed by someone is also active, always being and doing. It is better and pleasing to the Lord to act with love. This way we will be letting go of the offense or keeping it between ourselves and the offender, which will keep the door of unity open for reconciliation and forgiveness. Talking about the offense to others will serve to deepen the wounds, spreading strife to other people.

 

Heavenly Father, we so desperately need Your grace to be able to cover offenses directed toward us. Help us to keep these matters between You, us, and the offenders so that we can work toward forgiveness. Make us aware when we are about to repeat the offense to others and the consequences that could bring. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
