Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness:
Job 31:6 BBE
let me be measured in upright scales and
let God see my righteousness let God see
my righteousness the words of Joby you
see the one who is dedicated to God has
no condemnation in his heart the place
where the spirit resides and so his
answer is also always well let God use
his scales to judge me for he can see
what’s in my heart no one can see what’s
in a man’s heart but God can see what’s
in man’s heart for the word of God says
that God diligently sends out the seven
spirits of God to search every man’s
heart every man’s heart to find out what
he’s doing and why he’s doing it says
diligently continuously constantly in
depth without the possibility of hiding
anything
so Jovi’s answer is let me be measured
in upright scales and there’s only go on
good one one who has upright scales
and he will see my righteousness blessed
be your Lord
joby 31 verse 6 joby 31 verse 6 there is
worldly the word that comes to mind is
integrity people of all walks of life in
all sorts of worldly thoughts and
philosophies and doctrines talk about
integrity integrity and handling money
integrity in handling people integrity
and handling properties all banks say
that there they have integrity moral
integrity yet we speak here of something
different
integrity in the eyes of God
righteousness the ability to suffer the
world and still save stay with God you
see when you know the Lord and this
might be sharp to some and some may hate
me for it but this is what the Word of
God says this is what I know if you love
the Lord no matter what the people of
the Lord do no matter what anyone who
has a habit on or a pope or mitre
whatever it is all the symbols and the
trimmings that they use to proclaim that
they are the servants of God or
ministers or or elders or whatever
whatever they do to you doesn’t matter
they are but men they are but men but
because you know the Lord even though
they do something with by which you say
okay
I can’t walk with these people anymore
you know you’re not gonna leave God
right God didn’t do anything it’s like
going to your friend’s house and their
servant treats you badly what will you
do you won’t speak to your friend ever
again
well you’ll tell em a look at your
servant so that’s what we do they do
badly we cry out to the Lord but we
don’t say because people treat us badly
that’s why we’ve turned away from God
that means you never knew who God was
you had an idea but you never knew him
knew him it doesn’t mean you’re a bad
person it just means you have to be
acquainted someone needs to help you to
know God or you must want to know God
and if you are chosen one God Himself
will show himself to you like to Paul
making it so that in your mind in your
heart you can never say well I don’t
know who the Lord is well I can’t see
this because no knowing the Lord you
know hey this is what it is whether
people like it or not whether you’re
alone or with two people whether you’re
with 10 or with 10,000 it doesn’t matter
what are a hundred thousand or a million
are against you it doesn’t matter
because if you know the Lord you know
that God is one and by his word all
things are done
not by a number of men a number of men
can do worldly things build great
cathedrals great buildings great car
ways airplanes rocket ships fantastic
things truly fantastic in the flesh but
to create to create for that you need
God blessed be your Lord and he who can
see your righteousness he will vindicate
he is the one who keeps an account and
judges every word he who is in our
hearts condemns us not if we have
confidence in if we trust him why do I
say that because remember who he is he
came down from his glorious throne to
suffer at the hands of sinners and while
suffering he said Father forgive them
for they know not what they do
he prayed for them and died so that we
might be covered by his blood which
washes white as snow takes away all
iniquity so if you have him in your
heart you do your best to believe to be
good but he is the one who makes you
righteous not you II not ten thousand
people he that one person blessed be
your Lord in Jesus mighty name Amen and
may we all hold on to that integrity
knowing that whatever someone else does
whether they have
intentions are bad whether they have
integrity or not whether they do it in
the name of God or not let us all know
man are but man but if you believe in
God if you believe in God
you cannot go astray from God because of
men he is the creator man are but a
creation blessed be your Lord Jesus
mighty name amen let us be judged at all
times by him let us be measured in his
upright scales let us take whatever
guidance he sees fit to give us and in
that in our obedience to him he will see
and show our righteousness in Jesus
mighty name amen
so lord give us your word speak with
your voice speak unto the hearts of
those who are under the power of your
voice in Jesus mighty name amen joby 31
verse 1
joby 31 verse 1 I made an agreement with
my eyes how then might my eyes be
looking on a virgin for what is God’s
reward from on high or the heritage
given by the ruler of all from heaven is
it not trouble for the sinner and
destruction for the evildoers does he
not see my ways and are not my steps all
numbered that is the Word of God he’s
he’s all your ways he has read all the
way for you and your steps are if I have
gone in false ways if I have gone in
false ways or my foot has been quick in
working deceit let me be measured in
upright scales and let God see my
righteousness if my steps have been
turned out of the way or if my heart
went after my eyes or if the property of
another is in my hands
let me put seed in the earth for another
to have the fruit of it and let my
produce be uprooted if my heart went
after another man’s wife or if I was
waiting secretly at my neighbor’s door
then let my wife give pleasure to
another man and let others make use of
her body for that would be a crime it
would be an act for which punishment
would be measured out by the judges it
would be a fire burning even to
destruction and taking away all my
produce if I did wrong in the cause of
my manservant or my woman servant when
they went to law with me what then will
I do when God comes as my judge and what
answer may I give to his questions did
not God make him as well as me did he
not give us life in our mother’s burnt
bodies you have to be very careful when
when dealing with people who are under
your control whether it be prisoners
where did it be people you hire whether
they be your students remember at all
times ask yourself this question as you
are about to do whatever you are about
to do with them did not God make him as
well as me God is no respecter of names
if you do something wrong to them in his
eyes well he will give you a reward
according to your work
Jovie 31 verse 16 if I kept back the
desire of the poor if I did not help the
poor give them a coin some money if I
kept back the desire of the poor if the
widow’s I was looking for help to no
purpose and I didn’t help her if I kept
my food for myself and did not give some
of it to the child with no father for I
was scared for by God as by a father
from my earliest days he was my guide
from the body of my mother if I saw one
near to death for need of clothing and
that the poor had nothing covering him
if his back did not give me a blessing
and the will of my sheep did not make
him warm if my hand had been lifted up
against him who had done no wrong when I
saw that I was supported by the judges
may my arm be pulled from my body and be
broken from its base for the fear of God
kept me back and because of his power I
might not do such things if I made gold
my hope or if I ever said to the best
gold I have put my faith in you if I was
glad because my wealth was great and
because my hand had got together a great
store if when I saw the sun shining and
a moon moving on its bright way a secret
feeling of worship came into my heart
from seeing the sun shining and a moon
moving on it’s right wing and my hand
gave kisses from my mouth that would
have been another sin to be rewarded
with punishment by the judges for I
would have been false to God on high if
I was glad at the trouble of my hater
and gave cries of joy when evil overtook
him for I did not let my mouth give way
to sin in putting a curse on his life if
the man of my tent did not say who has
not had full measure of his meat the
traveller did not take his night’s rest
in the street and my doors were open to
anyone on a journey the traveler did not
take his night rest in the street and my
doors were open to anyone anyone on a
journey if I kept my evil doings covered
and my sin in the secret of my breasts
for fear of the great ball
of people or for fear that families
might make sport of me so that I kept
quiet and did not go out of my door if
only God would give ear to me and the
ruler of all would give me an answer or
if what he has against me had been put
in writing truly I will take up the book
in my hands it would be to me as a crown
I would make clear the number of my
steps I would put it before him like a
prince the words of Job the words of
Jobi are ended if my land has made an
outcry against me or deployed or has
been in sorrow if I have taken its
produce without payment causing the
death of its owners then in place of
grain let thorns come up and in place of
barley evil-smelling plants blessed be
your Lord Joby is clear here he is
speaking about integrity about knowing
God about holding on to God no matter
how your life goes in the world doing
the right thing as they say in the
streets do the right thing I would only
say do the right thing according to the
Word of God don’t be afraid of those who
can kill the flesh be afraid of him who
can kill the flesh and the soul blessed
be your Lord blessed be our Lord in
Jesus mighty name amen I
a-and know this in the end he will come
and judge everyone reward everyone for
their works it is not something that may
be your main be not in the end he will
come and judge everyone and reward
everyone for their works by his word we
will all be judged starting with those
who are resting with those who are dead
so lord have mercy on us for all we have
done wrong
thank you Lord for your mercy for the
shedding of your blood which took away
all our sins help us Lord to be stronger
in you every day in you every day more
and more so that at that day when we are
measured in upright scales you may see
Lord you may make known Lord our
righteousness of faith unwavering faith
in you
thank you lord in Jesus mighty name amen
blessed be your Lord
