*DAILY DEW 23/APRIL/2024* *UNPROVOKED HOSTILITY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm."* Proverbs 3:30 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ To start with, Christ is our model. He does not even permit us to respond to hostility with hostility. This point must be recognized. Proverbs 3:30 Don't argue just to be arguing, when you haven't been hurt. (CEV) Proverbs 3:30 Contend not with a man for no reason--when he has done you no wrong. (Amplified) Proverbs 3:30 Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong. (BBE) Proverbs 3:30 Don't pick a fight without reason, when no one has done you harm. (NLT) While this advice seems quite commonsensical, many do not follow it. A lot of people enjoy drama and will rather jump at every opportunity for such. We need to live simply and with lots of focus on what matters. The rule is, don't provoke a quarel or a fight or a case when there is nothing calling for it. The important thing here is to really assess situations, and not just on the face value, to be sure there is something serious to be addressed, before you escalate them. _MEDITATION:_ *Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm.* Proverbs 3:30 ESV *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
