Proverbs 18:17

Introduction

I. Diligence (Pro 18:17) #

Prov. 18:17 ¶ He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

A. First report #

1. Two siblings… the first one that can get to the parent, and give a report… will spin it to make sure they appear right #

2. If you only listen to one side of the story… you will likely side with that person. #

• There are always those who are more than willing to run around and give their story so others will feel bad for them.
• There is always another side to the story, if you only take the one side, you will not know the full truth.
• Vs 13 – He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

B. Two ears #

• We should always be careful to look for both sides.
• Justice resides somewhere in the middle of both stories.

II. Casting lots (Proverbs 18:18) #

Prov. 18:18 ¶ The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

Looking ahead – Two Trails #

Watch out! Watch where you are going! Be Careful!

Proverbs 22:3

Introduction

This verse sums up what we will look at this evening. Simply put, watch where you are going! When you have kids, you are always looking out for them. Watching where they are going, and what is going on. How many times have you kept your child from running into something or someone because they were not watching where they were going! Spiritually we need to be on watching where we are going, and where we will end up.
