Reformed Doctrine Daily Devotions

Today’s devotion comes from Deuteronomy 25:5-19.  Here is a link to this Scripture – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2025&version=NASB1995

I quote only the following verses.

“You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a large and a small.  You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small.  You shall have a full and just weight;  you shall have a full and just measure, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.  For everyone who does these things, everyone who acts unjustly is an abomination to the LORD your God.”  Deuteronomy 25:5-19.

Another pillar of justice is a just weight.

In our business practices, we are commanded to give our customers “a full and just weight” of product and services for which we charge.  It usually is not as simple as having an accurate scale.  This Scripture applies to much more than weighing bananas.  As business people, we know in our hearts how much product or services we are giving our customers for the money our customers pays us, and God, Who knows all persons and everything else, certainly does.   

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

“Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;  but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth;  for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.”  Jeremiah 9:23-24.
