God's Plumb-Line Of Strict Justice

                                        Amos 7:7
                    "Thus he showed me: and, behold, the
                        Lord stood upon a wall made by a
                            plumbline, with a plumbline
                                       in his hand."

        We can see what a blessing praying people are to a land.  See how ready, how swift God is to show mercy;  He waits and wants to be gracious, not just to Israel, but to all.  Israel was a wall, a strong wall which God Himself raise up as a defense to Hid Sanctuary.  The Lord stands upon this wall.  He measures it, and the wall appears to be a bowing, bulging wall.  The wall is no longer strong because of Israel's wickedness, and those who have been spared many times before, shall be spared no longer.  That strong wall had become as tin because of their sins and with God's plumbline the wall was no longer in plumb; therefore if a wall is out of plumb it will crumble upon it's self.
        God's plumbline is an emblem of "Strict Justice."  I'm sure there are some that say;  "I'm not under law, I'm under grace, saved by "believing in Jesus Christ."  I would say you're right.  But Let me say this.  "God's eyes are still upon us all, and now Christ is a symbol of wall made by a plumbline. When we stand in front of God, we must measure up, for Jesus Christ will be  "Holding The Plumbline."  Jesus will say,  "This is a good and faithful servant," or "Father I know not this person!"  My friends evaluate your life today.  Would your life be in "Plumb with the Plumbline of Jesus Christ?
       Amen!!
