THE NORTH STAR – Proverbs 10:26-11:5 – 6-29-25

Wisdom is an indispensable virtue to the discipline of applying the Law of God.  The wise man seeks to understand all of life and thought in terms of the absolute moral order of God’s Word & God’s world. Wisdom equips the moral agent for the discipline of measuring all things by the standard of divine revelation. Taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (II Cor 10:5) requires wisdom and discernment that comes by way of practice (Heb 5:14).  Diligently processing and applying the scriptures is an ordinary means of the Spirit to equip saints for glorifying God in life & ministry. Wisdom literature is an instruction manual for ‘casuistry’…The task of judging case by case situations by the universal standard of Biblical truth.  Proverbs contains hundreds of examples of God‘s law applied to various situations - or cases- in every day life.  The book of Proverbs along with all of scripture is a Just Weight by which to measure everything else.
