SERPENTS ARE WISE BECAUSE THEY CAN LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH MEN
Snakes are masters at avoiding conflict and confrontation - until necessary. When they cannot avoid confrontation, they attack. This is why you have probably found a snake in your house before. That snake has been in your house for years. It lived peacefully with human beings, even though human beings hate snakes with a passion.
All through the bible the scripture encourages us to live peacefully and quietly with all men. You cannot do much for God if you do not know how to make peace and live in peace. It’s time to learn from the serpent how to live peacefully with the very people who want to kill you. “And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” (James 3:18).
For the most part, snakes either freeze or flee when humans approach. If a person comes too close, however, many will bite. Fortunately, most species are not venomous, and the bite only serves to surprise the person rather than hurt him or her.
It is important that you develop the art of living peacefully with all the different groups of people in your world.
If you are wise as a serpent you will live peaceably with your brothers and sisters.
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Matthew 5:24
Jesus insists that you must be reconciled to your brothers before you worship Him. That is a basic Christian requirement. Some families are always having one conflict or another. There is always one problem or another between Christian brothers and sisters. If you are a Christian, it is important that you distance yourself from conflicts that get nowhere. Rise up and display your maturity by refusing to live in conflict with anybody. A condition for God to accept your sacrifice is for you to make peace with your brethren.
