Justice - Proverbs

September 08, 2024 | Mike Stancak

Passage: Proverbs 2:1-15

To be wise is different than knowing life hacks.  It is knowing the nature of God's world well enough to traverse it skillfully and righteously at the same time.  This means that a man cannot be both wise and greedy.  Open-handed compassion to the poor and needy displays a man's wisdom just as much as his management of assets or ability to negotiate tricky relationships.  Wise men are just men because God is a just God.
