Day 361 Bible Reading: Zechariah 10-11, Revelation 18, Psalm 146 and Proverbs 30:32-33 
Be sensitive to people who are going through hard times. Frequently, their aggression is simply a venting of their frustration and not directed at you. You are called to be a peacemaker – so don't react but face that emotionally charged situation with kindness and soft words. If you labor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, there you find disorder and every evil practice. This is wisdom from earth (James3:14-16). Knowledge from Heaven is pure and peace-loving. Which understanding do you apply? Wisdom from Heaven or earth.
"For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife." – Proverbs 30:33 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, may Your gentleness be always in me. Help me not to see others with compassion. Where there are anger and strife, let my thoughts be good and pure, so the words that come out from my mouth will help the situation (James3:17-18). In Jesus’ name, Amen."
