Proverbs 16:11 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says …

“Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s; All the weights in the bag are His work.” (Proverbs 16:11 NKJV)

This is a reminder to keep our integrity intact. When it comes to how we live - and how we do business - God wants us to have His weights and scales in the bag. That is doing our businesses and affairs in life as clear as day in the light of His gospel of grace and truth. Not on the standards of the world. It changes very often at its whims. The Lord's standards must be the solid rock we stand on.

He is talking about ethics in our workplace and in our playground of living. In this society and world, there are players who bend mores and rules to their advantage. They, even cheat on as petty as jumping in the queue line at check-out counters. Or, steal time at work! Which, we ought not, do. Sadly, we cannot catch them often who are unjust in their business dealings and conduct of living. Like the serpent, they are somehow crafty (Genesis 3:1). But, we do have a God who can see every activity under the sun. Every transactions done in the dark are beamed to heaven. Every time we weigh our time, our efforts, our goods, and our words, He sees and knows what we are doing. And, there is time for everyone to give account to God (Romans 14:12). And, He also affirms that in the end, the seat of judgment is at His throne (2 Corinthians 5:9-10).

Oh, that we might learn from this truth! And, navigate through this world with the appropriate reverent fear of God - respect for His Word and walking by faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. The time of reckoning is coming. It is written: “And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.” (Revelation 20:12-13 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
