Contention is of the devil but tension is of Christ.
We are exhausted far more from the tension of internal disharmony—not doing what we know we should—than from hard work. And, naturally, the very effort to escape such tension through pleasure-seeking, self-indulgence, or escapism produces more tension. An effective way to achieve integrity and unity is to prayerfully study the scriptures. It will replace confusion with clarity and exhausting tension with worthy goals.
