A false balance:

   We are told that God hates  false balance.    What does this mean?  A false balance is the human attempt to fix what only God can fix.    For example, thee are Christians who have a get-back streak.  If they think you have done something to them, they need to play God and teach you a lesson.  the problem is, anything other than what God has said is a false balance.  I{f you think someone has done ill to you, the Bible forbids you from returning evil for evil.  God also says that vengeance is His.  Anything else is a false balance and is outside of God's economy.    It is always the flesh that wants to get even.  The flesh wants the satisfaction of seeing the other party in a position of discomfort.    Those who take offense always want to do something about it.  At a minimum, the hurt feelings are reflected in a pouting countenance or a sharp tongue.  The offended always considers the other party to be the offender, and offense invariably targets the other party for payback.    Soldier of  The Cross, this only means waiting on God and recognizing that we are not equipped to rule the universe.  It is critical to be aware of the desire to even the score, and to  then take the matter to the Lord in  prayer before things get out of hand.    If you do not like the preaching, trying to influence the same speaker to preach to your liking is an attempt at a false balance.     If the finances are lacking, carrying on about the lack of money is a false balance.    If  there is guilt, doing penance is a false balance.    Soldier, depend on God's Word.  The Indwelling Holy Spirit will speak to you and will lead you.
