Scripture Reference: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. (Psalm 1: 1-6, KJV)
Followers of Christ all around the world are currently setting their gaze towards Pentecost. This is the seventh Sunday (June 8, 2025) after Easter (April 20, 2025) that believers celebrate the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Christ as explained in the Book of Acts 2: 1-31. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the disciples committed a major amount of their time in the Word of God. Their Savior, Teacher and Master was no longer with them physically. The disciples searched the Word of God for their daily guidance and sustenance of their faith in God. The Word of God became their plumbline.
In construction, engineers use the plumbline – a tool used for vertical alignment in which a weight suspended from a string ensures all the structures are well aligned and upright. This is critical when building tall skyscraper type buildings. Constructing any type of building without a plumbline leads to disaster.
As followers of Christ, our lives are under God’s eternal construction and require His truth to ensure Christ’s body of believers are exactly who He created us to in our world. This is why the plumbline symbolizes the power of God’s Word to orient the lives of Christ followers with truth- Jesus Christ! The Word of God is an unshakeable standard irrespective of the cultural trends of our time.
In a time that there are myriads of deceptions, it is important for followers of Christ to stake their lives on the unshakable truth of God’s Word. The Word of God has the power to do the following in our daily lives:
