Prayer for Honesty and Justice | Daily Prayer
"The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him." — Proverbs 11:1 (NIV)
Daily Exhortation
If you are a business owner and you charge the regular price for an item but the quantity of product you are selling has been manipulated, you are committing a sin. Also, if you treat one person differently from another person for evil reasons, you are also committing a sin.
Both instances are employing the use of dishonest scales. On the other hand, if you use accurate weights in your business or with people, you will find favor with the Almighty. What's your choice?
