"Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth."
Micah 6:10-12
This idea of the treasures of wickedness is interesting. It seems clear that even though they are called treasures that they are full of dishonesty and disregard for others... probably why they are "of wickedness." ... I think the point here is that this kind of treasure isn't worth our time, and the value is either ephemeral or downright deadly. The only riches that we can gain from defrauding others or harming them are things that are also going to destroy us.
Today, let's make sure we aren't justifying bad actions that will offer temporary "treasure" but end up poisoning our souls. Instead, let's turn to God and repent and get his help to change.
