2 Kings 20:1-22:2, Acts 21:18-36, Psalms 150:1-6, Proverbs 18:9-10
What God said to me – Have you ever seen a plumb bob? It is a very simple device – basically a string with a weight on the end – that was used by builders to determine verticality so that the building was straight. It utilizes the law of gravity, so angles are correct and things stay plumb or level. The plumb line doesn’t alter, or shift based on the impulses of the carpenter – it remains true and all work must line up to it so the building is not crooked. When Judah turned away from Me to idolatry, I told them I would use the same plummet that I used to judge the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the house of Ahab. The plumb line I use is My word and My standard never changes. If you want to walk in a manner that pleases Me and glorifies Me, then line up your life with My plumb line – My word. You cannot base your life on what society says is right or what is legal by government standards or even what your conscience says – My word is the standard and nothing else.
