“Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.”
Proverbs 13:10
This seems to indicate that pride is part of all contention, which is a good encouragement to stay away from it.
It's definitely not always easy to do. Sometimes it is hard to let things go, and we can't always predict when contention will crop up, although we can probably do a lot about the cases where we *can* anticipate it. And (as always), if we don't know a different way of dealing with a certain situation, we can go to the Lord who has his arms outstretched, willing to help. ... Perhaps that is part of moving to being "well-advised." :D
Today, let's take a look at any contention in our lives and work on how to cleanse it from our lives.
