The Vision of the Plumbline | Rev. Beatrice Waithaka | SWC | DCIKZ
Amos 7:7-8
Understanding the plumbline helps to live a deeper and fuller Christian life.
1. The presence of a standard.
God molds us to match the standard of the plumbline.
The Holy Spirit is the greater force that establishes a plumbline.
The presence of a plumbline is not for condemnation but for mercy. When you know your sins and repent He is faithful to forgive us. {I John 1:9}
2. A reference to build on.
Walk the steps. Don't ignore God's direction in establishing a spiritual life.
Practice God's standard of holiness and righteousness in your life. Pass the standard and you'll remain spiritually healthy.
3. The Bible is the plumbline for the Christian life. {2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105}
It is also a source of constant reference and encouragement.
Meditate on the word of God day and night.
Remember, we are most vulnerable when we are most comfortable.
