Proverbs 18:16
A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.
How to fall socially
Proverbs 18:17
In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines.
Casting lots
Proverbs 18:18
Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart.
Psalm 34:19-20
righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. —
We know that the righteous can have troubles, but how do we understand that God delivers us from them all? How do we understand that he protects all our bones, especially in light of recent tragedies and the persecution of believers in many places in the world? Paul demonstrates the answer: whatever happens to him will turn out for his deliverance — whether it is through his death to be with God or whether it is through his release from prison to continue ministry (Phil. 1:19-23).
Our deliverance is secure. We are conquerors in Christ. Nothing Satan can do to us can steal us away from God's love, not even death (Romans 8:32-39).
A hard job
Proverbs 18:19
A brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city; disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
A must for all men
Proverbs 18:20
From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
