In a Year of Curve Balls, Free Falls, and Duty Calls, We need to Align with the True Plumb Line
/Oh 2020, you’ve been full of curve balls, free falls, and duty calls.
Curve balls that have consisted of cancelations, closures, and the craziness covid invited into our daily lives.
Free falls that have felt a bit out of control and left us not knowing how to pull the cord, when to open the chute, or where we should land.
Duty calls. We’ve voted so our voice could be heard. We’ve prayed so His voice would be the final word.
We’ve questioned our sanity. But even that doesn’t change reality. 2 + 2 = 4. Always and forever. When things in our world aren’t quite adding up, it’s time to get back to the basics (because it’s highly probable someone’s been skewing the equations)...
Gospel Truth through the lens of a Biblical Worldview. He died once. For all. Sin divides us. Jesus unites us.
Simple math. 2 + 2 = 4. We need not complicate things, lest we fabricate things that simply are not true. For the sake of our sanity, let’s stay grounded in reality.
Build on the basics. A firm foundation. A pure plumb line of justice and righteousness.
“Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. 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 28:16-17 NLT
Jesus is the way. The only way. Lest we be led astray, let’s get out of His way, let Him lead the way. There truly is no other way.
Oh 2020, yes, you’ve been full of curve balls, free falls, and duty calls.
But the reality is we have not lost our sanity. Our foundation is firm. Our plumb line is set. We’re building on the Gospel Truth — truth that sets captives free, and that will always be the ultimate reality, full of authority and free from ambiguity!
