Weighty Matters


Sister Debbie and I were walking recently and we found a big fishing weight on the ground. It got me to thinking about weight and the Word of God. I thought I would share some verses that use the word weight just to edify you on this day:

 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.
Proverbs 20:23

 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
Lev 19:35

 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Deut 25:15

 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
Micah 6:11

 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Matt 23:23

 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
2 Cor 4:17

 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
2 Cor 10:10

 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
Heb 12:1

 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Rev 16:21
Many of us carry a whole list of different kinds of weight with us. These could be burdens, guilt, regrets, sorrow and fleshly temptations etc. There is one sure way to get the weight off of you and that is to be born of Christ and cast all your cares onto Him.

 Repent and obey the gospel to eternal life.
