Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself?Ecclesiastes 7:16 ESV
If you have ever witnessed a porcupine if they are hassled or bothered in anyway their quills stand up as a matter of defense. Similar to people who when verbally ‘attacked’ get defensive.
Let’s say you are needing or wanting to approach someone about an issue that has been on your heart when ideally it is better to not play Holy Spirit Junior and pray and be still. If you do suddenly engage someone about a sensitive issue no doubt it will not turn out good and will set your relationship back a notch or two.
So in order to keep peace and let God help work things out just practice stillness. Go to God in prayer. Know God has whatever it is so let Him touch another’s hearts, not you.
PRAYER: Lord God I choose to pray and wait. I thank you that I can trust you. I pray for healing of any past ‘porcupine’ times in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
