Proverbs 18:20-24

Introduction

Lord willing I would like to finish this chapter up. Again, these thoughts are not always tied together, so we will simply take each verse as it stands. The first two verses deal with the same subject matter, so we are able to put those under the same point.

I. Words to mean something (Proverbs 18:20) #

A. Power of words (Pro 18:21) #

1. Your words carry a lot of weight. #

2. Some words, are not helpful. Matter of fact, they are empty over all. #

James 3:10-12 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Proverbs 19

As we continue to look at our influence in this world, it is important to remember and think about these things. These proverbs have many different ways to look at them. As I have categorized them, we are only looking at one category they fit into.

I. Place – Pro 19:10 #

Prov. 19:10 ¶ Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

I. Diligent Gain (Pro 21:5a) #

Pro 21:5a – The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;

A. Person of diligence (Joseph was diligent) #

A diligent person is someone who is steady in application to business, they are in constant effort to accomplish the goal.
Christians should be diligent people, the ant is one of the most diligent of creation, and God tells us to observer their ways! They are constantly diligently preparing for winter.

B. Planning, preparing (Joseph prepared) #

Some people act with no thought!
A diligent person, will be thinking ahead, planning and preparing!
Someone wise once said, “Prior proper planning prevents poor performance.” - not Bible, still good.
Not all plans work, but having no plan is in essence planning to fail.

C. Plenteousness (Egypt had plenty) #

There is provisions for hard times.

II. Deceitful Gain (Pro 21:5b, 6) #

Prov. 21:5b ...but of every one that is hasty only to want.

1 Sam 17:1-4

Introduction

We have a familiar Bible story, and yet, maybe it has been years since you heard a message out of it. Sometimes familiar stories get overlooked because of their familiarity. And yet there are so many lessons that can be drawn from them.

One summer, a man bought a fancy new car—a bright red sports model that turned heads wherever it went. Everyone was impressed as it rolled down the road. Sadly, it often broke down, and sat on the side of the road. It was a problematic car, with a bad engine, lots of problems. It is easy to be impressed with appearances, but what is on the inside, and how reliable is far more important than what it looks like!
