Accurate Weights and Measures!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who use accurate weights and measures. In Jesus’s name, amen.
Fair trade is based on trust.
Exchanging by weight with balanced scales can be fair and honest. However, in ancient and modern times, some people have been known to cheat using scales that were out of balance.
The first part of Proverbs 11:1 (ESV) is about people who cheat with weights and measures.
“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
but a just weight is his delight.”
People who hear this proverb will immediately know if they are guilty of using a false balance or using just weights.
How about you? Are you trustworthy when it comes to making fair exchanges?
