2-25-06 Job 31:6

Job 31:6 (KJ21)
let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.

Job 31:6 (NAS)
Let Him weigh me with accurate scales, And let God know my integrity.

Job 31:6 (NIVUS)
let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless—

Job 31:6 (NLT)
Let God judge me on the scales of justice, for he knows my integrity.

Whenever you go to the doctor, one of the first things that you will have to do is stand on the doctor's scale. Although it may be a dreaded moment for you, the information gained from this will help the doctor determine the overall state of your health. Have you gained weight since your last visit? Or did you lose? Was the weight gain or loss rapid or slow and gradual? All of these factors are necessary to diagnose your health correctly.

Adonai, the Lord God, also uses scales to weigh your spiritual health. You may think at times that you are in suspended animation as you wait for the verdict, but you can be assured that God's scales are just and right. They always weigh you accurately, unlike the doctor's scale which could be off a few pounds.

The Lord ponders your life before He makes a judgment. He knows if you are living a righteous life or not. He also knows if you have been cleansed by the blood of His Son, Yeshua, the Messiah, and have been cleared of the guilt and punishment that sin brings. He has seen you walk in integrity. He observes and recognizes your innocence. He is aware that Jehovah had made you complete.

Therefore, you do not need to fear the Lord's scales, if you have trusted Him for your salvation.
