‘If you have been snared with the words of your mouth…Go, humble yourself.’
Proverbs 6:2-3 NASB (1995)
In 1755, a twenty-three-year-old army colonel was running for a seat in the Virginia assembly, when he made an insulting remark as part of a campaign speech. It was addressed to a hot-tempered man named Payne, who responded by knocking the colonel down with a hickory stick. Soldiers rushed to the colonel’s assistance, and it appeared a full-blown fight would ensue. But the would-be politician got up, dusted himself off, called off the soldiers, and quietly left the scene.
The next morning, the colonel wrote to Payne requesting his presence at a local tavern. Payne obliged, but he wondered what motives and demands the colonel might make – perhaps an apology or even a duel. To Payne’s surprise, the colonel met him with an apology, asking forgiveness for his derogatory remarks and offering a handshake. Others may have viewed the move as politically expedient, but Colonel George Washington considered it personally imperative if he was to enjoy internal peace as he continued with his political campaign on his way to becoming America’s first president.
Jesus said, ‘Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly’ (Matthew 5:23-25 NKJV). Solomon said, ‘If you have been snared with the words of your mouth…Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbour’ (Proverbs 6:2-3 NASB 1995). The word for today is: humble yourself, and try to make it right.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Joshua 13-15, John 3:1-21
