Proverbs 11
Honest Scales
The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.
Proverbs 11:1
We reflect on this, and can easily see examples of dishonesty all around us. We see dishonesty in business, and we could find dishonest practices that involve scales easily, produce scales in the grocery stores involving cashiers, customers at self checkout, truckers modifying scale logs, jewelers weighing out precious metals, inaccurate odometers, inaccurate tax filings. Just a tiny bit of reflecting and we can think of inaccurate weights and measurements all around us…
All AROUND us…
All around us?
How is my heart?
Does my heart use any inaccurate scaling, measuring, judging, evaluating? Do I use any inaccurate power scales in relationships causing conflicts with the Truth as well as in relationships and in my own heart conflicts?
God, help us as we look into the perfect law which brings freedom and to see our own hearts so that we can see more clearly every day in order to walk uprightly with you and to bring this salvation of your grace to every man.
Wisdom in the WORD 
Inaccurate power scales could happen by using your authority, your influence, or even your physical size or strength of personality to manipulate or intimidate others who are weaker: bullying.
