Proverbs 16:11 – A just weight and balance are the LORD’s; all the weights in the bag are HIS work.

Bible Challenges and Comments

I like what our Pastor said last night that in the study of the Word of God, it is not the quantity of chapters and verses read, but more rewarding is the contentment and thought with what is being taught by the Holy Spirit who guides us into the Truth we are studying, which may only be two or three verses. Now; these are not the pastor’s words verbatim, but is my understanding of what he said.

I would like to be able to recall his words as they are more meaningful and parallel my thoughts this morning regarding the verse of scripture I chose in Proverbs 16. To do justice in any given concern or project on this earth we MUST always give way to truth that, “All is God’s” from the very weight of the matter at hand to the fact that the last word in Proverbs 16:11 is not “work” in the Hebrew language but “concern”.

So we can see that people are capable of taking the interpretation of one’s intended message and replace a few words of similar meaning and change the whole thought or definition. Therefore I am overjoyed with the Truth that those who believe in Jesus Christ as the ONE whom took our sin upon Himself, has along with His resurrection from the dead, given us His Holy Spirit who is our tutor and guide in all things pertaining to righteousness and godliness in this present time.

John 16:13-15 – “However, when He the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to your. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you”.

Balances and weights, all belong to God; whether it is the pound of nails or hamburger you seek to sell to your neighbor, or the Living Word of God you seek to share with the lost. The physical and spiritual realms (while differ in many ways are also alike) but it is and always will be God who weighs the spirits (motives). Proverbs 11:1 and Proverbs 16:2.

Wrap your soul around the Word of God, your human desire may be to read a whole chapter or book in the Bible, but the Spirit of God may have much to say to you in just a couple of verses in the chapter. Spend your time in those two or three verses and come away with overflowing thoughts of “good themes”. Notice Psalm 45:1 – My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the KING; my tongue is the pen of a ready or skillful writer.

“Oh happy day, Oh happy day” when Jesus the Lamb of God washed away the SIN of the world. If my sin is washed away, and it is; then so is yours, you only need to believe in Him. OH HAPPY DAY, believe in Jesus and be so happy that your cup of joy will overflow with the grace of God. John 1:29-34.
