Today's
Proverb:
Where
there is no wood, the fire goes out;
And where there is no
talebearer, strife ceases.
Proverbs 26:20 [NKJV]
Today's
Thought:
This verse is saying that gossip is like wood fueling a fire.
By withholding wood from a fire you cause it to go out and in same
way you could cause a quarrel to cease by withholding gossip.
Therefore, resist the urge to gossip or repeat things,
even if they are true, and you will bring peace instead of strife.
