Proverbs 20:23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord, And dishonest scales are not good.” (Proverbs 20:23 NKJV)

He emphasizes His indignation towards all kinds of deceit, dishonesty and trickery. Gains derived from unjust means merely flow straight through the drain of penury. Yes, fraudulent people think that they make more profit with their inaccurate scales. Little do they know, or rather woe to them who did not know, they are actually doing business in parch fields. Worst of all, those who knowingly do it in hardness of heart against God's Words, not only that they do things abominable in His eyes, their efforts are fruitless. They are in a place of draught. And the saddest reality is, they bet their eternal life for their greed (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

As children of God by faith in Jesus, sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we are to make deals in honesty and truth on the table. We are to rest in His finished work on the cross by His grace in conducting our affairs. The Holy Spirit will guide us in all our doings, if we allow Him. Following His cue in all that we do, He promised long life of blessings, as it is written: "Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light. Do not have two differing measures in your house—one large, one small. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. For the Lord your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.” (Deuteronomy 25:13-16 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
