Proverbs 22:1
How do we respond when others try to tear down our hard work? Isaac faced sabotage as his neighbors filled his wells, yet he didn’t retaliate. Instead, he quietly moved on, trusting in God to provide. This perseverance gave Isaac a “good name” among his people, honoring the God he served. Proverbs 22:1 reminds us that integrity is worth more than wealth. When we choose peace over conflict, we show others the strength of our faith. Isaac’s story teaches that blessings often come to those who remain steadfast, even when challenged. In our lives, choosing patience and trust—over anger or retaliation—leaves room for God to work in ways we may not expect, ultimately bringing peace.
