The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple – Psalm 119:130
When we are in a heated conversation, we tend to defend ourselves and try to prove that the other person is wrong. Though we may try to find common ground in this period of time, we find it very difficult. We think about things from our own perspective, we try to defend ourselves, justify ourselves, and tear down the arguments of the other person. If we are not careful, we say things that we regret and live with the negative consequences, as those regretted things settle in the hearts of loved ones. Words create worlds! While the entrance of our words can lead our relationships into a dark world, the entrance of God’s words in any situation has the opposite effect. This is why it is important in any relationship to both agree that the word of God will have the final say. In any disagreement, the word of God should be the arbitrator. Instead of excoriating each other during a disagreement, see a disagreement as an opportunity to get you and your partner closer together and closer to God as you explore the word of God together.
I can take the heat off an argument by deferring to the word of God
