Honey and Vinegar

There are some things, whether in business, work, school, family, or church, etc., that aren’t worth arguing or fighting over. A bull dog can whip a skunk, but it’s not worth the fight! We need to choose our battles, making sure they are over principles, not personalities or preferences. Nonessentials are not essential to life.

We can neutralize potent and explosive situations with a fair amount of understanding. When an issue is concentrated it is always good to add this additive. It can many times change a potentially bitter situation. When things are not clear in Scripture, let’s learn to neutralize by compromise. As my son Andrew once advised me, “Don’t use vinegar until you have first tried the honey.
