Pro. 30 KJV

33Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

JC says that this verse would prove to anyone that the Bible is true…simply wring the guy’s nose! But the point of this Proverb is not to cause strife, but to avoid it by not churning something up. Given yesterday’s proverb and today’s I wonder if the Lord is telling me not to force the issue with my adversary. However, this wisdom could also mean that if someone stirs my wrath, they shouldn’t be surprised to get it.

Pro. 22 KJV

10Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

This simple verse of wisdom is exactly why I feel the way I do with my church leadership. They refuse to take even the smallest step toward confronting the scorner. Therefore strife and reproach will continue.
