The voice of the Lord cries to the city…"Can I forget any longer the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked?"
Micah 6:9-10
Some folks had become pretty wealthy, but God has some questions about how they made all their money. This hits pretty close to home. Maybe you have done well in business, but you feel uncomfortable about how you made your money. You look back at the things you did, the decisions you made, and your conscience isn’t clear.
God gets specific: "Shall I acquit the man with wicked scales and with a bag of deceitful weights?” (6:11). When trading was done in those days, what was sold would be weighed on balancing scales, using stones as weights. The stones would be marked with their weight, and you carried them around in a bag. A “bag of deceitful weights'' was a bag of stones falsely marked. A customer might pay for two pounds of barley but walk away with only one.
Many of us make our living in the business world. You know that it’s a jungle. The pressure is intense. There is competition over contracts and pressure to cut corners: “Your rich men… speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth” (6:12). Does that sound like business in our city?
If God were to say the words of Micah 6:9-10 to you, how would you respond?
