” Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight.” Proverbs 11:1.

Fairness is essential to our lives; it brings balance and harmony. Proverbs 11:1 reads, “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.” This scripture speaks of the importance of fairness in all aspects of life. This Proverb shows how God values fairness above all else and how it plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Fairness can be seen in many areas, such as business transactions, legal proceedings, relationships, sportsmanship, and so much more.

Fairness encourages us to treat each other respectfully regardless of our differences and helps create a sense of justice for everyone involved. Fairness also promotes accountability and responsibility by ensuring everyone has equal access to resources or opportunities without biases or prejudices. Remember, honesty is the best standard to trade in life. It is an essential quality we should all strive for if we want God to be involved in our matters. I know we mostly talk about faith as things that please God, but we forget that honesty makes God get involved.

Leviticus 19:36 says, “You shall maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.”

I read a story of a woman who walked into a grocery store just before closing time and asked, “Do you still have chicken?” The Butcher opens his fridge, takes out his only chicken left, and puts it on the weighing scale. It weighs 4 lbs. The woman looks at the chicken and the scale and asks, “Do you have one that’s a bit bigger than this one?” He says yes With a smile. The Butcher puts the chicken back into the fridge and then takes it out again, but this time when he puts it on the scale, he craftily keeps his thumb on the scale pan. The scale now shows 5 lbs. “Do you want this chicken? The Butcher asked, pointing to a plate. “That’s wonderful,” says the woman. “I’ll take both of them, please!” (Laugh out Loud).

The Butcher is still in the cold room, looking for the second one till this moment. Dishonest is deceitful, unjust, and cruel, an abomination to God and humankind. Chinese Proverb says, “Whenever there is profit to be made, then think of honesty.” We should avoid dishonesty in our daily transactions. “Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor.” Proverbs 21:21

Prayer:
1. Thank God for all your blessings.
2. Oh Lord, help me to keep my heart pure and strong in Jesus’ name.
3. Holy Ghost saturates my heart with honesty.
