In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines. – Proverbs 18:17 (NIV)

Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible

The Scripture places a high value on getting different perspectives when we deal with conflict. We need to listen to each other with compassionate ears yet at the same time realize that each story has another side to it. Our ability to keep this tension is key in discerning a path forward when people clash in life.
