Deeds are Weighed

Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him, deeds are weighed. 1 Samuel 2:3

We owe God nothing. He knows how to compensate the unprivileged. He knows how to fill the lack. Likewise, he knows how to encourage the discouraged.

This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:23-24

Our riches don't make us any better than the poor as there is no key to the human problem in once riches. Our education doesn't give us an unfair upper hand from the uneducated as there is no solution for our problems in education. Someone's lack of power doesn't make one any less than the mighty as the key of life is in God's hand not in the rich, wise, or mighty. He is a fair judge. He judges the world in wisdom and love.

I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastic 9:11

God is the creator and the judge of us all. He is a fair judge. He knows how to compensate. No one owes him anything.
