My Daily Pause

What if from today, you followed David’s example in Psalm 4:1-4?

When you are having trouble that seems bigger than you, turn to God rather than try to handle it on your own.

He has everything under control!

The Lord hates both these things:
dishonest weights and dishonest measures. – Proverbs 20:10 NCV

The Lord hates dishonest weights,
and dishonest scales do not please him. – Proverbs 20:23 NCV

The Lord gives based on how we give:

give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. – Luke 6:38 ESV

Do the standards you measure your deeds against match His?

As liberal as they are, even the media still holds people to high standards.

Do something evil, and people won’t like you.
Do something shameful, and they will make fun of you. – Proverbs 18:3 NCV

Evil and shameful actions result in dislike and ridicule. For any of our liberal friends that don’t believe this, we need only point them to the media’s treatment of powerful and public figures caught in lies, adultery, and fraud.

Godly morals are still the measure of real men.
