Isn’t it amazing that we always assume we’re right? I mean…how can we ALWAYS be right? But we honestly think we are. Proverbs 16:2 says, “All the ways of man are right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart and it’s motives.” Maybe instead of trying to convince everyone we’re right, we should just ask God to put our hearts on the scales.
Father, stop us from assuming we’re always right. Instead of arguing, cause us to stop and ask ourselves, “What if I’m wrong?” We give you permission to weigh our hearts against the Truth of Your Word. Open our ears and minds to what others are saying. Help us not to be reactive…but open, calm, and loving. Season every word we speak with grace—always grace. Remind us in every conversation that it’s better to have a relationship than to be right. In Jesus’ name, amen.
