The Plumb Line
Romans 12:2
Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to Him and what is perfect.
In order to get a driving license, a person has to take an exam and ensure to pass the passing grade. If the result is below the passing grade, he fails. If the result is within or above the passing grade, he passes and will obtain the driving license.
The passing grade is the benchmark or standard of measurement. God showed Amos a plumb line to demonstrate that as God’s people, we also have to live to a certain benchmark or standard. A plumb line is a line or a cord that has at one end a weight and is used to determine verticality. It is used mostly during making a wall to ensure that the wall is vertically straight by measuring the gap between the plumb line and the wall. If it is not equal all the way up, it means the wall is not yet straight and thus needs correction.
Our plumb line is God’s word. God’s words should be our standard of how we live. Ask the Holy Spirit to correct you each day so that you will always be in line with the word of God.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, guide me to be in line with Your word, as the plumb line in my daily life. Amen.
