Max Lucado once said “conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.”
- Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” [Matthew 26:41 KJV]
- Pray for a men, kings and people in authority. “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2 KJV)
- As long as it lie with you be at peace with all men. “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” (Romans 12:18 KJV)
- Cast out a scorner and a talebearer. “Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; Yea, strife and reproach shall cease.” (Proverbs 22:10 KJV)
- Avoid situations of envy and strife. “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” (James 3:16 KJV)
- Learn to give a soft answer. “A soft answer turneth away wrath: But grievous words stir up anger.” (Proverbs 15:1 KJV)
- Behave yourself wisely. David behaved himself wisely. “And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.” (1 Samuel 18:14-16 KJV)
Stay blessed!
