Know what a plumb line is? I imagine that you have seen granddad or observed
one being used on a construction site at one time or another, right? You hold it
up to see if the wall or post is straight. The Bible tells us we are like that plumb
line for a world that is a little off center. In other words, we represent God's
straight line of truth.
Amos 7:7,8 says, "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.'"
God may be using you as a plumb line for those around you today. Will you stand
straight on His Word or compromise and make the way a little crooked? It is up to
you to know what being a plumb line is. Read His Word.
