THE PARTY IS OVER



“CHECKING YOUR BALANCE”

Daniel 5:1-6 , 25-28

* There is a device in many …maybe even most homes ……that is feared and despised.

Is it the microwave oven? No! Is it the vacuum cleaner? No! It’ is…..the bathroom scale!

It is an impartial judge. It deals in exact facts not feelings ! I’ve tried all sorts of ways to trick it---but it tells the truth!

* A wife came into the bathroom to see her husband standing on the scales with his stomach sucked in. “That wont help!” “Yes it will!” “How will it help?” “It helps me see the numbers!!”

Proverbs 11:1 “A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.”

∅Mama’s scales

* There was a butcher in a meat shop who was down to his last chicken for sale.

A woman came in and asked if he had chicken. He said, “Yes” and put the chicken on the scales to be weighed for cost.

The woman said, “No that doesn’t weigh enough, do you have another?” The butcher put the chicken back into the container and acted like he pulled out a different chicken. He weighed it with his thumb on the scale. “This one weighs a ½ pound more.” The woman replied, “Good, I’ll take both of them.”

Proverbs 20:23 “Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.”

Proverbs 16:11 “A just weight and balance are the LORD'S “

* [Middle English balaunce, from Latin *bilancia, having two scale pans.] *

>> How many LIBRA’s do we have here today??? Many are those that are such have been weighed in the balances ….and found wobbling!<

* Doctors say there are over 40 million who are overweight. These, of course, are only round figures.

* Since we “are what we eat”…… I only eat rich food! (

* I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes!

* The worst thing you can say when a woman asks you 'Does this dress make me look fat?” is not 'Yes'

……it’s actually '”Wait a minute let me stand back and get it all in!'

∅Here we have one who was weighed …and it wasn’t enough! And that was a very, very BAD thing!

Bel’s number was UP -----because his number was DOWN!

Psalm 62:9 “Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity”.

God Is A Weight Watcher! ……He is watching OUR weight!

Proverbs 16:2 “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.”

There is a scale in Washington DC that is so accurate that it can weigh smoke!

- It can tell the difference when a fly lands on it!

-You actually have to stand 10 feet away from it when using it because the heat from your body can affect it!

God’s scales …….are even better!

(1Sam 2:3) “the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.”

*** Saint & sinner alike! ***

2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”

Job 31:6 “Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.”

Job 6:2 “Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!”

∅As is the case with our Bank balance…less is not best!

>>They even have FAKE ATM balance sheets to use for dating!!!!! > The KING was……. “all shook up !!” (uh-huh!) ................
