Today's Favorite Verse: Proverbs 13:10
"Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom."
I understand the part of contention comes from pride. What I pondered on was what it meant by "with the well advised is wisdom". What I could finally picture is the benefit of being the observer of contention, but not the participant in it. We've had some really good discussions in our home over contention happening in the world. There is something to be said for being on the outside looking in. You see things you would never have seen from inside. It does make you wiser. We've often wondered how parties cannot see where they agree, the root of the disagreement, how they are being manipulated, or what should be done in the matter. That must be the guidance of the spirit that instructs when you try to learn from other's mistakes and not a party to them.
