SCALE ADJUSTMENT

Proverbs 11:1-2 The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

God wants us to be honest in all our dealings including how we transact our daily businesses. In our businesses, we must be fair to people. We must not adjust the systems to favor us. In the world of business is to give and take affair. When you treat others fairly you will also be treated fairly. 

  Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." 

We read a request of God in Ezekiel:

Ezekiel 45:10 "Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath."

It is not only against man's law to weigh merchandise for sale wrong, but it is against God's law as well. In fact, the Lord calls it an abomination (a very evil thing). God is delighted with us when we are honest with all our dealings always remember for with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

Pride” comes from a root word meaning to boil or run over, indicating an overwhelmingly arrogant attitude or behavior. In 1Timothy, we read what happens when we are overcome with pride.

1 Timothy 3:6 "Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he falls into the condemnation of the devil."

It is very important not to be self-centered and caught up in pride. We are what God has allowed us to be. In 1 Timothy 3, the wickedness in the last days lists pride as one of their sins. We must stay humble to please God. The humble have a teachable spirit that is firstly directed to God. A wise person realizes that everything he or she is comes as a gift from God and not of self. The upright is innocent of any wrongdoing, but we see that the perverseness (evil doings), of the transgressors (those who sin continuously), will destroy them. They actually destroy themselves.

Prayer: We adore You our heavenly father for Your word this day, it's our prayer you help us be doers of Your word by being humble, honest and letting go of pride, thank you for Your word in Jesus name. Amen
