Bricklayers use a weight hanging from a long string called a Plumb Line to verify that each level of bricks is straight and true.

We also have a plum line to guide the trueness of our lives that helps us measure that we “...make straight the paths of our feet,” as we travel along the “narrow way which leads to eternal life” and that is the plum line of God’s Word.

When we do not use God’s Word as our plumb line but instead go by our own standards of righteousness and conduct, it is easy for what once was straight and true to go crooked. This is what happened in the days of the prophet Amos. The people become crooked and out-of-line with God’s plumb line of righteousness, holiness and godliness and had drifted so far out-of-line from the Lord’s straight and true ways that God was ready to give them up!

Friend, this is our natural human tendency, and unless we continue to align ourselves with the plumb line of God’s truth we too can go a crooked way.

So as you embark along the road of life, are you staying in alignment with God’s plum line?

Or are you measuring how to live life by another standard?

Have a Great Day!
