It’s Friday today and we’re coming to the end of our week. By the way, What do you call dogs that rarely bark? That’s right. Hush puppies.
Our meditation today comes from Prov. 20:23 “The Lord detests double standards; he is not pleased by dishonest scales.”
God detest crooked & intentional injustice. There are a number of passages that give clear insights into why.
First, Lev. 19:36,37 this verse gives a warning & then God infers
that He brought us out of a
godless life to fill our life with
freedom (in other words
unjust treatment of others
brings harm & drudgery to
everyone)
Second, Deut. 25:13-16 warns that
by affirming double
standards brings a life of
unhappiness, misery, and
displeasure to all influenced
by it. (Encourages our
children to follow & be
harmed in the same way)
Third, Amos 8 speaks of the harm
brought on by harming
justice — dryness,
meaninglessness & sorrow,
will come on all people
impacted by it. Those
participating in it & those
affected by it
Fourth, Micah 6 warns of the
emptiness that comes from
cheating others, and the
immeasurable
consequences that comes to
your family from cheating
others.
Today we are experiencing this injustice all around us, then we see the harm that this lawlessness brings on innocent children & adults. Increased suicide, depression, corruption and so many other consequences confirms the extreme value of God’s standards and the necessity each of us confirming it in our life. When we see this injustice around us then we must take quick action to step away from those who are responsible for that action.
So God With God for His guidelines & laws have great importance in our lives & the lives of all those that we love. They also ring true every time, though we may not immediately see its value. As we read the Bible we see just how following in His ways brings about blessings to our lives.
Why not make confirm this lesson by making a comment just how you have seen this to be true in your lifetime?
