Proverbs 16:11 (AMP) A just balance and scales are the Lord's; all the weights of the bag are His work [established on His eternal principles]. (MSG) God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business
A Christian Worldview recognizes that the source for maintaining truth and justice in affairs of commerce is God. A secularist sees the rocks, or lead pieces (the weights) and scale as simply man’s manufacturing ability – man’s ingenuity. The philosophical two-story worldview in which we live (faith, feelings, etc. are in the private, upper story; science, math, commerce etc. are in the public, lower story) is denied here: the Creator God who became man forever broke that false barrier. It is He who put the concepts of just scales in man’s heart “so that no man can alter them without violating God's rights and authority.” (Wesley) God is all and in all – even your work. Do you honor Him – there?
