The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are His delight. Proverbs 11:1
This is a Proverb of Solomon. Beginning with chapter 10, a young man is faced with choice and urged to chose wisdom. Through chapter 22, practical instructions range over every aspect of life. In these proverbs, there is not a great deal of theology, yet deep access to a definition of God’s goodness and character.
To live life spiritually victorious, find, know and trust God’s character. Yes, He is love, but according to the New Testament evangelist Paul, in his letter to the church in Corinth, Godly/Christlike love is all things ethical; patient, humble, generous, persevering, truthful, worthy of trust and hope.
Dishonesty is a simple lack of all the above, but most of all faith in a just and kind Creator’s sovereign power. God abhors deceit because it costs an innocent person. Christian moral standards bring delight to our Savior/Redeemer, but it also glorifies His name and purpose, and shines light in a world of darkness.
Chose what is right and let God take care of EVERTHING else!
Love,
Gretchen
