It can add zest to life and help you face the dawn of a new day with joy and confidence. On the other hand, what you feel about yourself can make you feel terrible and rotten and not fit to live with not caring to live. These are the scales that you cannot see. They are turned facing the other way. These scales are more important than we sometimes think.
Influence is sacred.
Illustration from a famous preacher in a Gospel Meeting in Abilene, Texas. These are the scales about which Job is talking. His desire was that God would weigh him in an even balance so that God might know his integrity. Of course, God's scales don't weight in pounds and ounces, and Job wasn't talking about that kind of weight. He was talking about those scales of God which weigh the intangible things, the invisible things.
