Divine Alignment

1. PUT GOD FIRST, AND ALIGN YOUR LIFE TO GOD

“…the Lord was standing by a vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand. (8) The Lord said to me, ‘What do you see, Amos?’ And I said ‘A plumb line.’ Then the Lord said, ‘Behold I am about to put a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel…”

(Amos 7:7-8 NASB)

“I will take the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness to check the foundation wall you have built…”

(Isaiah 28:17 NLT)

“‘This people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.’“

(Matthew 15:8 NASB)

“For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel – these are the eyes of the Lord which range to and fro throughout the earth.”

(Zechariah 4:10 NASB)
