Amos 7:7-8
Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. And the LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said: “Behold, I am setting a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.”
Amos 7:7-8
Amos 7:7-8
A plumb line is a line or cord with a weight on the end held up next to an object to see if it’s standing straight. God’s Word is the plumb line for His people and it contains His inflexible standard of right and wrong – spiritually, morally, nationally, and religiously.
If God were to set His perfect line against our lives, how would we fare? I think we all know the answer to that question. That is why the purpose of God’s Word is to not only show us where we lack but to drive us to Jesus, our only hope for righteousness. So get into God’s Word today and find the beauty of His Son on every page.
Only Jesus can set me straight,
