“A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work.” Proverbs 16:11

Today we come to a verse that points us to the fact that God wants honesty and justice to be a part of our everyday life. To begin with, our verse simply means that justice was God’s idea. We would have no concept of justice or enjoy its benefits were it not for the mercies of God (Lev.19:35). This being said, it is very easy for us to think of ourselves as being just and honest because we do not regularly rob banks or steal cars. But, as God introduces the idea of justice, He puts it in the context of everyday, mundane moments. We providentially find ourselves in tax season as I write this devotion. I want to challenge you to make filing your tax documents this year an act of worship that is acceptable to God.
