Day 108 Watch That Scale | Proverbs 11:1-2

Send us Fan MailWatch That Scale1The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales,     but he delights in accurate weights.2 Pride leads to disgrace,     but with humility comes wisdom.Verse 1Our actions, like our words, are important to God. At work, we should not cheat other people. We must be fair. In a shop, a kilo or pound weight should be accurate. If we use false measurements, we lie to our customers. We should be honest.Verse 2Humble people know that God is great. God likes humble people.God likes humble people because they look after other people. A humble person considers that other people are important.A proud person thinks only about himself.The purpose of false scales is to cheat people, to lie bysaying they are purchasing more than they really are. That is thesame as stealing from the purchaser, and we know that is wrongfrom the Ten Commandments. On the other hand, if a personuses an honest balance, then they are treating their fellow humanproperly, and God is pleased.If people are proud and self-reliant, they lose their senseof needing God since they are able to handle life’s obstacles ontheir own. But none of us are God, so there come times when theproud lose control of their lives – and so they are ashamed.However, humble people know they can’t meet all of life’sdemands, so they need to rely on Yahweh. They study theScriptures to find out what God wants them to do. AndScriptures always lead readers to Wisdom and to a way to beforgiven for their sins and shortcomings.Contemplate: Pride is perhaps the deadliest of sins,for it blinds people from their need for God.
