“False Balance. Pride”

“False Balance. Pride”

Blessings folk!

In Proverbs 11 the Proverbist fires off a rapid-fire teaching contrasting the Righteous vs. the Wicked.

Each Proverb…verse…carries truth worthy of our consideration and meditation…

Pro 11:1
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight.

God hates cheating.
He hates deception.
A “false balance”…scales that are inaccurate to the favor of the seller…is an abomination to Him.
Just, fair weight is His delight.
In other words, do not cheat…at business, in relationship, in anything.
Do not deceive.
Do not “take advantage of”.
Many are the ways in which man has been creative in presenting false balances.

Pro 11:2
When pride comes, then comes dishonor,
But with the humble is wisdom.

The world is all about “pride”.
School “pride”.
“Pride” of work and endeavors,
Etc.

But, pride opens the door to things of the evil one.
Then comes dishonor.

The Righteous walk in the humility of the Lord.
The Righteous are humble of spirit.
Humility releases Wisdom!

Isa 66:2
“For My hand made all these things,
Thus all these things came into being,” declares the LORD.
“But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.

 1Pe 3:8
To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;
