Where....strife is, there is...every evil work." (Jas 3:16)
The apostle Paul writes: "Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand." (Php 2:2-4 TM).
Strife wreaks havoc in relationships. It often stems from an inflated ego and leads to comparing, competing, and condemning. James points that out: "Where...strife is, there is...evil work." So be a strife-spotter! The moment it rears its ugly head-uproot it! "Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of the Most High. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many" (Heb 12:15 NLT).
If you want to walk in the Most High's blessing today, try to live in harmony with others. Is that always easy? No, but the sooner you learn to do it, the better things will go for you.
Pray. That the Most High (Higher Consciousness) will give you wisdom with in these difficult situations-Because, those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. (Jas 3:17-18 NLT).
Because, the Bottomline is: If you want The Most High's blessing on your life-Avoid Strife. (Soure: The Word For Today)
