When God says .......

When God says .......

Do not go hastily to court; For what will you do in the end, When your neighbor has put you to shame? Debate your case with your neighbor, And do not disclose the secret to another; Lest he who hears it expose your shame, And your reputation be ruined. (Proverbs 25:8-10 NKJV)

He is giving us a heads up on how to handle disputes. There is God's way and the other way. God's way is the way to go for His children. With God's presence in the midst, and prayer, try getting amicable agreement before taking or being taken to court. 

Wisdom is paramount in sorting which issues are private or public. Dirty linens are not washed in public. There are matters that must be dealt directly with God and the party in dispute. Not with anyone who has no business with. Lest it becomes a fuel for gossip and ridicule. 

Godly wisdom calls for out-of-court settlement.

Lord Jesus said: “When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. And if that happens, you surely won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny. (Matthew 5:25, 26 NLT) . 

So, we be wise. Seek God's grace. "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men." (Romans 12:18 NKJV)

And I say ... AMEN!
