Interfering in someone else’s argument
is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears.
Proverbs 26:17
Do you ever find yourself needlessly entering someone else’s argument? That’s as foolish as yanking on a dog’s ears; you know you’ll get bitten. Entering an argument or conflict brings sure results—you’ll get “bitten” by the arguers, who will turn on you. And you will have brought it on yourself needlessly. A question worth pondering: how much trouble do you needlessly bring on yourself?
Ouch. This has certainly got me. I guess there are a countless times that I have yanked on dog’s ears… and yes, to be honest, I have been bitten because of it. But I thank God for reminding me about this verse. It is an eye opener. Thank you, Lord.
