Proverbs 20:1-30
Proverbs 20:3 "It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling."
"Every fool will be meddling." It sounds like some southern axiom muttered from the corner of a grandma's mouth, as she sits in her porch rocker! You can almost hear the southern drawl.
How true that when we unwisely get in the middle of a fight between two people, we often end up with the black eye and the busted lip. Not only should we not strive with others, but we need to stay out of other's troubles. There is a time to help...and a time to let them work it out on their own. We can be a peacemaker without getting directly involved, and sometimes that is the wisest way.

Hi, my name is Jessica Roberts. My husband and I are Independent, Fundamental Baptists. This blog was started as a place to host the short devotions I taught to my five children before our homeschool day began. I have been saved since 1974, and have always taken notes in church in the margins of my Bible. Some of these devotions come from those notes, and some from my time at Bible College in the 90s. I love the book of Proverbs, and think it is the perfect book to teach your children from because it is what the wisest man in the world was teaching his son. The choice: following wisdom, or following the way of the world, will one day be the child's...but we still bear a responsibility to train them in the way they should go. Link HERE.
