Anger comes naturally, none of us had to be taught how to get mad. And while there are injustices worth righteous anger, most of us also know the other side: the chronic irritation, the constant pet peeves, the moments where small things hijack our peace and damage our relationships.
In week one of this Proverbs series, we begin a five-week pursuit of biblical wisdom that leads to better decisions, healthier relationships, and a more grounded soul. Anchored in Proverbs 20:3, “Honor is due those who refuse to fight at the drop of a hat…,”this message challenges us to stop treating everything like a hill to die on. Instead, we learn three practical wisdom moves: look inward, pick your battles, and let love cover most flaws.
The invitation is simple and personal: trade unnecessary conflict for honor, trade anxiety for God’s care, and begin building a life marked not by constant quarrels, but by wisdom, restraint, and peace.
