Weighed In The Balances Daniel 5:1-7, 25-31 Belshazzar the King made a feast for a thousand of his lords and profaned the holy vessels of God’s temple. Many today are also guilty of profaning the Holy Scriptures. God’s hand interrupted their drinking with an unusual writing on the wall. Daniel interpreted the handwriting for the king, and what he said came true. Belshazzar had been weighed in the balances, and found wanting. What is your spiritual weight? The scale of others (I Cor. 4:2-5) The scale of works (Luke 17:7-10) The scale of conscience (Prov. 16:2; 14:12) The scale of adversity. (Matt. 13:20-21) The scale of prosperity (I Tim. 6:17-19) The scale of the Bible (Acts. 2:38; Matt. 5:8; Acts 26:28) How much will you weigh on God’s scales on judgment day? Just one sin weighs more than a ton of lead. Your good deeds, thought they number in the millions, cannot atone for your sins. You need Jesus to stand on the scales with you. His blood alone can atone for all your sin. Trust in Him and obey Him now! |
