The Even-Handed Justice of Man (A Word to the Wise)

justice, kings, leaders, morality, standards

“A just weight and balance are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work. (Proverbs 16:11, NKJV). In this exhortation of the Holy Spirit, the king over his people is not one who is to sustain his own pleasures with corrupting influences. Instead, he lives by the standard that is of God. when issues need to be properly judged, the king is to have a standard that is even-handed and right. the only standard known to man that is that way ifs the standard that belongs to the Lord. Too often man gets in the way of himself as he tries to administer justice; the subjectivity of evaluating motives makes justice not even-handed at all! A prime example of this is secular progressivism/liberalism. There is no chance for justice to be rendered even-handedly across the board because the standard of measurement is always floating, changing and fluid. My friends, reject the ways of man (Proverbs 14:12) and accept the ways of the Lord. RT

When we think of leaders in a religious context, there is the work of two that come to mind: the elders and the preacher. Not only are these men to fulfill the biblical requirements, but there are some things that need exemplified that is not expressly addressed by the Bible. For instance, the way a man dresses can render a good deal of influence to those who look. Imagine a preacher presenting himself “in the pulpit” with a t-shirt and shorts! Sinful? No. The influence, however, would be mostly negative, if not entirely so. A preacher, if he is wise, will not lose sight of such things, and neither will any one of the elders. In fact, it would be wise of all our men and women to think on such things. RT
