Prayer and Proverbs - Day 20 of 31

Read Proverbs 20.

“False weights and unequal measures—the Lord detests double standards of every kind.” (Proverbs 20:10 NLT)

Measuring things unfairly—something we've all done. If you think you are the exception, then I'd drop 1 John 1:8 (NLT) on you, “If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.” Who does Jesus' words, “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?” (Matthew 7:3 NLT), NOT speak to?

What other forms of double standards do we fall victim to and/or thrust unjustly upon others?


In prayer, ask God to remove the double standards that plague your life and actions. How may removing a double standard that you are the cause of help another to find renewed life and maybe even to know the freedom we have in Jesus?
