A false balance
Proverbs 11:1
A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is His delight!
Today's verse is the beginning of a series I want to do in the book of Proverbs - today's verse talks about a false weight - what first comes to mind to me is those who sold animals for sacricifce in the temple who would add weight to the animals without the buyers knowledge thus making it cost more -these people would make money off this falsely and God has some harsh words to say about them - however those who sold at a just weight are God's delight - I have heard it said that what you do when no one is looking says a lot about you - if you cheat others behind their back - you are no better then those who cheat them right in front of them - Those in the temple who did this brought God to open shame - not something He takes lightly - here at the one place set aside for worship, people came in to see if they could cheat others but ultimately stole from God - the same thing happens today - there are crooks everywhere - even in the church - those who pad their own pockets at someone else's loss - we cannot pay our way to heaven but when we are called to give - we must give as God calls us to give - no if someone comes along and steal what we give - it's not on us but the one who stole - we must be sure to give God all the glory at all times - let's live a life that is perfect balance - not a false one - we can claim many things with our mouths - but what does our life say - to me this steps on my toes and it should - let's give God our very best - He gave us His Son - let's give Him our live - your brother in Christ who is in this with you, Daniel

Word to the wise: Cheating God is never a good idea! God knows all and sees all - there is no hiding anything from Him!
