Proverbs 16:20 "He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good:"
If 10 people were faced with the same problem we could witness 10 different ways of dealing with it. Because people are different in their upbringing and all manner of experiences they also think differently. Each individual has his own biases, fears, strengths, and insecurities; therefore, we see that we all look at the facts to some extent differently. But the one goal we should all have in mind is to determine to act wisely in all we do.
I have said for a long time that I want to do things rightly (wisely). I try never to "push a bad position." I don't want to win when I'm wrong; I want to either be right or be shown my error and correct my way that I might be right next time. This is my desire though I am sure that I am not always acting in line with it.
I hate it when my pride gets in the way of learning and behaving wisely.
God promises "good" to all those that would act wisely. The word "good" has the meaning of life being pleasant, agreeable, excellent, valuable, and an all-around quality of prosperity. Who does not want this?
Let's make it our goal to handle all matters today wisely.
