(Proverbs 16:11 KJV) A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work.
You may have a different dream but I don’t see myself ever selling produce or running a business weighing recycled aluminum. The ideas here about honest scales would seem to apply to someone else. Not so. The principle is the issue. There are many ways in which I can cheat without going near weights and measures.
How do I determine whether I am justified in returning a product I have bought? Have you ever been tempted to purchase an expensive item, use it the one time you need, and then return it for a full refund? I hear there are some women who do this with dresses. I can picture doing it when I need a specialty tool. What is happening is that the consumer is taking advantage of a retailer who is trying to be fair with his customers. What we don’t like to admit is that this kind of misrepresentation is a form of lying . I hope you understand how angry God gets when we lie.
So? Business ethics are also the responsibility of the customer. It is a matter of eternal significance.
Tangents and Vectors
An Idea Borrowed
Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.
