Proverbs 28:26 - He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Pride causes fights! And it is the leading cause of fights! Without pride, fighting and strife would quickly end. Arrogant confidence and haughty self-importance keep contention - conflicts, and quarrels - going. But wise men are humble and prudent to hear other opinions, avoid contentious men, and pass over offenses. They are peacemakers. If there is fighting in your life, family, business, or church, it is because of pride. Is it your adversary’s pride, your pride, or both? A wise man will do what he can to end war and wrangling. He will use soft words (Pr 15:1)
