Be fair!

Listen to God's Word this morning:

Proverbs 11:1

1 Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.

At first glance this morning it may be easy for us to say this verse doesn't really apply to me. But when we look closely at the verse it applies to all of us. The basic meaning of this verse it to be fair to all. During the time of when this verse was written, business deals were done by using scales. Some folks would have the scales rigged so that the weights were off to give them a better deal. God tells us here that He hates when we rip people off. He also tells us when we treat people fairly that He is delighted with us when we do so.

This verse we can apply to all areas of our life....treat people the way we want to be treated. Remember the Golden Rule??? So examine yourself this morning....are you being fair???

Have great weekend and worship the King!
