An Honor or A Fool

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 20:3 "It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling."
Which are you? An honored man (woman) or a fool? Only you can truly answer that question. There are others around you who will try to answer that question for you. But, it is you who must truly search your heart and decide what the true answer is.
Look in the mirror. Truly face yourself and answer the question? Are you an honored man (woman) because you cease from strife? Do you honestly do everything that you can to avoid strife? Do you try to make peace or cause disturbance? Remember, you are answering this for yourself. No one else needs to know the answer. The answer belongs only to you. God already knows the answer; so, you don't have to worry about Him, unless you try to lie to yourself. Tell the truth! For once, tell the truth to yourself.
Are you a fool? Do you go meddling in matters where you don't belong? Do you try to tend to the business of others and leave your own matters undone? Again, remember, you are looking into the mirror and answering this for yourself. Are you a busy body in other men's matters? (1 Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.)
Now ask yourself once again: an honor or a fool? You answer!
Until next time,
