Are you a meddling fool?
It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife;
Proverbs 20:3 ASV
Our Day 20 Daily Proverbs for October was written by Jessica Roberts, Proverbs for Breakfast.
“Every fool will be meddling.” It sounds like some southern axiom muttered from the corner of a grandma’s mouth, as she sits in her porch rocker! You can almost hear the southern drawl.
How true that when we unwisely get in the middle of a fight between two people, we often end up with the black eye and the busted lip. Not only should we not strive with others, but we need to stay out of other’s troubles. There is a time to help…and a time to let them work it out on their own. We can be a peacemaker without getting directly involved, and sometimes that is the wisest way.

It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

I’m a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a daughter-n-law, a mother-n-law! Ya know it is soooo very hard to find the balance between meddling and being of help! How does anyone make without the Lords help, I don’t want to know! I have learnt this though…if no one ask they are not wanting help. Just talk! I’m a G R I T S!
