(Pro 20:3 KJV) It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
We know that having conversations and communicating are important. Jesus dialogued with the Pharisees and Paul held meetings on Mars Hill. It is hard to share your faith without getting face to face with others. There is also a point where wisdom says, “Enough”. It may be that you can change the subject. You can excuse yourself. It is possible that you can only turn your back and walk away. That is what is going on here.
We need to be sensitive to when people stop listening. Yes, I know that some people never listen but there are those cases where you cross a line and you can see the veil descend over their eyes. Part of wisdom is deciding to wait for a better time.
So? Don’t forget that conviction comes through the Holy Spirit, not our clever arguments. When people are ready it will be obvious. Patience.
