Plumb Line

2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

We all know what a plumb line is, right? Nowadays there are electronic gadgets that are used. It used to be a string with a weight pointed at the bottom. When the string was held up with the weight at the bottom the line from the top to the point at the bottom would be perfectly vertical. When used to align a wall being built it would insure the wall to be straight.

That is where we want to be with our Father God-perfectly aligned with Him. When we are out of alignment our life sways back and forth. We try to be right in our thinking, but temptation from our own thinking pulls us off our plumb line.

All scripture is God breathed. For us to breath it we must read it. When we ask Holy Spirit to reveal the Living Word of God to us, the words jump out from the pages and sealed in our heart.

When we find ourselves veering off the plumb line all we need to do is pull out those words of love from deep within--those words He revealed to us as He breathed them into us.

As we walk out staying aligned with God, others see Jesus in us and miracles happen as we allow Him to reach out and touch the lost and the saved. Praise God!
