The Measure of Your Life

Thursday, February 27, 2025

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.
