“Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.” (v.10)
Our text tells us that pride is behind every dispute that results in strife. The pride spoken of in this verse is referring to one being arrogant and haughty. If two people are unyielding and arrogant when they disagree about something, it will always produce contention and strife. If we desire to get along with others, we must humble ourselves, and not take the opinion that we are better or smarter than others.
LORD, break down our pride, teach us to receive instruction, open our eyes to the Godly counsel of others, and may we receive correction as a trustworthy envoy. Amen.
The Truth: “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.” (Romans 12:3)
