Why are we so concerned about getting wealth?
• Pro 20:23 -> “Different kinds of weights are an abomination to the LORD, and a false scale is not good.”.
• Pro 20:10 -> “Different kinds of weights and different kinds of measures, both are an abomination to the LORD.
I know that it is difficult to get rid of the power of the money. Although Jesus promised this in Matthew 6:33, unfortunately, until now, I wasn’t able to live without money (and I don’t know anybody that reached this promise).
Nonetheless, we need to persist on believing that the righteous lives, not by money, but by faith in Jesus (Hab 2:4; Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38).
Believe: without Jesus’ blessings, not even all the money of the world will enable us to procure what we really need: love, peace, elation, salvation. So, instead of fearing to run out of money, fear to sin, coping with people with justice:
• Eze 45:10 -> “You shall have a just balance, a just ephah and a just bath.
Remember: the job is to help people around us (Eph 4:28); our maintenance is from the Creator.
Therefore, don’t act like Israel’s people:
• Hos 12:7 -> “He is a merchant; the balances of deceit are in his hand; he loves to oppress.
• Amo 8:5 -> “Saying, "When will the new moon be gone so that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small and the shekel great, and perverting the balances by deceit;”.
Have a good day being greathearted and seeking the fulfillment of the promise of Matthew 6:33:
• Pro 11:25 -> “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”.
• Pro 20:23 -> “Different kinds of weights are an abomination to the LORD, and a false scale is not good.”.
• Pro 20:10 -> “Different kinds of weights and different kinds of measures, both are an abomination to the LORD.
