Proverbs - What Are You Measuring With?

Proverbs 20:23

Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.


What do we use to weigh matters?  Do we use our feelings for one situation and money for another?  Do we use our desires to weigh one thing and our comfort level in another?  Do we use what our parents might think on one decision and how we analyze something in another?  These are divers weights.  This is an abomination to the Lord.  We need one scale and one standard only.  God’s  evaluation!  Whether it is through His Word or the leading of the Spirit, we should be seeking His leading in all matters.  Living with so many different sorts of standards will leave us confused and controlled.  He wants us to have our lives reflect his Lordship and building ability.  He is the master craftsman and as he orders one measurement in one room of our lives He knows how it will connect to the next.  Lord unite our hearts to fear your name and please You!
