The Line, God's Standard

This morning, when I closed my eyes, I saw a line.

This "line" was God's standard.

This is the "standard" that we all have to live up to.

This is the "line" that we will be judged by.

I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away.  Isaiah 28:17 NLT

Then He showed me another vision. I saw the Lord standing beside a wall that had been built using a plumb line. He was using a plumb line to see if it was still straight. And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" I answered, "A plumb line." And the Lord replied, "I will test My people with this plumb line. I will no longer ignore all their sins.  Amos 7:7-8 NLT

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand." (The seven lamps represent the eyes of the LORD that search all around the world.)  Zechariah 4:10 NLT
