Our text for today is Proverbs 29:9
“If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution.”
Did you ever have someone fill your glass and say, “Say when?” That means that we need to tell them when it is full enough.
Likewise, there are many times in life when you need to say when.
Know when to say when, when you are in a toxic relationship. However, before you make that decision, make sure you are not the toxic one. Don’t make that decision on your own. You are too close to the situation. Engage the counsel of a wise person who will tell you the truth.
Know when to say when, when you are in a toxic work environment. You are not a slave! Move on. Change your job. You and yours have to eat, so don’t be foolish. Your first priority is to work for yourself to find a new job.
Know when to say when, when you are constantly having unproductive arguments. If you are constantly in arguments, that is a different discussion. Someone wrote, “Don’t complain because you are surrounded by clowns, ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.”
Use wisdom in choosing your battles. Every hill is not worth dying on.
