(Prov 15:1 NKJV)\u00a0 A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.<\/p>\n
I was very recently faced with a situation where I had to address someone for something. I had learned of something that this person had said that was malicious toward me and my family and absolutely false.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t want to argue with them or stir up a conflict, but I knew that this person needed to be made aware of the fact that the false words that they had spoken about our family had gotten back to me and I wanted to give this person a chance to redeem himself.<\/p>\n
I sought God\u2019s wisdom on this because it was a very delicate situation and, despite my flesh wanting to light into him verbally, I knew that this would not solve anything and it would not bring glory to God.<\/p>\n
God showed me that the best thing to do was to approach this person calmly and gently, which is what I did.<\/p>\n
When I was done talking to him, I went back to what I was doing and knew inside that God\u2019s way is surely better than mine. Thank God for His wisdom.<\/p>\n
