Stir Up Strife?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are dealing with people who stir up strife and are angry. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Imagine living with a person who makes comments designed to provoke others and incite conflict. Now add being around a person who has angry outbursts and violent behavior. Life can become unbearable.
Proverbs 29:22 (ESV) describes individuals with these characteristics and the results.
“A man of wrath stirs up strife,
and one given to anger causes much transgression.”
Those who make others suffer, as the proverb describes, can change.
John Newton, the author of “Amazing Grace,” knew sinners could change from firsthand experience. He wrote “That saved a wretch like me.”
