The Lord's Plumb Line

In the book of Amos, the Lord uses a plumb line as an symbol of his law. It is always straight, and to truly be with him, you have to walk that straight line perfectly. He used an object we know about and know to prove something 100% straight to signify his law being 100% straight.

Today, the message of Amos is to be kind to those who are unfortunate. Don't beat them down and take advantage of them due to the fact that they are poor. If you can, help them to get their feet back underneath them so they can get back to life. Also, keep with the Lord's law. He didn't write it for His own good. He did it for ours. Because he takes the time to pay attention to us and help us when we ask, the least we can do is follow the rules he has laid down in our benefit.
