Word As Ruler

Word As Ruler…

Carpentry teaches us a simple but true lesson. If you want to build something the right way, you need a straight measure. That’s true for woodworking and for life.

You might not know anything about wood, but you are still a builder – you are building a life. In the same way, you can’t build a stable life without a straight measure to keep you straight.

The straight measure of your life is the Word of God. Measure everything you do by that measure. Plan all you do with it. In school, you used to call that straight measure your ruler.
The Word of God is your straight measure for life, but it only works if it’s your ruler. Let it rule you. Start with the Word and take it straight for what it is.

Then, get your life straight with it. How? By lining up your life with your supernatural straight edge… the Word of God. Do this, and your life will be blessed and straight. For that’s the truth, pure, and straight.

Folly brings joy to one who has no sense, but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course. Proverbs 15:21

Is there anything in your life that doesn’t line up with the Word of God? Today, line it up.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of your Word, a true and unwavering measure for our lives. We confess that at times, we stray from your path, allowing other influences to guide us. Lord, we ask for your forgiveness and your strength to align our thoughts, actions, and desires with your perfect will. Help us to see where we fall short and grant us the courage to make the necessary changes. Let your Word be our constant guide, shaping us into the people you created us to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
