Proverbs 15:1
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger.
How I love SPIRIT!
If you're a born again workman, you'll love how SPIRIT works with you.
How He "plants" ideas, even words, in your head.
How He lets you explore that "prompt", or idea.
How He surprises you with telling, and timely, stuff.
And all you could say is "Wow!", "Gosh!", or "Astounding!".
Like when He had me listen to a sermon today.
Barely 15 minutes into it, He gave me an idea to explore --
"Jews. Arabs. Muslims."
Soon as I realized its acronym was "JAM", immediately, SPIRIT followed through with a statement:
"We are not in a pickle,
we are in a JAM."
For those not familiar with idioms, these are defined here:
Candace Osmond on Grammarist defines "in a pickle" as "in a difficult or sticky situation".
Oyster English defines "in a jam" as "in trouble or in a difficult situation".
So, they both mean pretty much the same thing.
Except "in a jam" fits this article more.
Leave it to SPIRIT to be witty, and precise.
That acronym got this article going.
With the idea of an image, appropriate for this article.
I won't claim to know much about the nations involved.
So I must share these SPIRIT-led videos, and articles, which tell us more about those nations' histories, conflicts, and challenges among themselves:
