At the 6 o clock position, you ve gained knowledge, understanding and salvation. At the 9 o clock position, you are ready to witness and lead others to understanding. Back to the 12 o clock position, you are ready to serve as mentor. We never really complete the circle. We will be perpetually the student and the teacher as there is always something new to learn and gain understanding of in the Word of God.
More energy is wasted on conflict than anything else.
Conflicts and anger are seldom righteous in nature. Even when they start out over a righteous cause, the problem quickly becomes the conflict and not the righteous cause. Solomon teaches us to avoid conflict, strife and anger. Even the best argument is wasted on a fool. Keep your own counsel Sometimes the very best thing you can do is stay silent.
