Proverbs 19:11 “The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.”
It would be wise for us to pick and choose our battles. There are certain things we should stand up against and there are things we should let go. Everything doesn’t have to be a fight. The discretion we have, if used wisely, will save us a lot of figurative headaches.
If we challenged everyone who we felt disrespected or wronged us, the results would be numerous failed relationships, failed friendships, and unsteady employment. The scripture says it’s glory to overlook transgressions. The root of these battles is fear. Some of us are afraid of being taken advantage of. But, can we really be taken advantage of when we’re doing it God’s way and allowing God to fight our battles? Of course not.
So, let’s drop our rocks and let’s stop looking for a fight. In every situation, use discretion and consult the Spirit of God to see if something is worth fighting over.
