    Surprised by GOD.

    I was reading the book of Amos for my quiet-time and I came across the following scripture: “And the Lord asked me, ‘What do you see, Amos?’ ‘A plumb line,’ I replied. Then the Lord said, ‘Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people,’” (Amos 7:8, NIV). It was a pretty interesting scripture. I figured God meant he was going to set a standard for the judgment of his people, seeing as a plumb line is a tool that’s used in architecture and things of that nature to determine whether a structure is perfectly vertical. Out of curiosity, I went to look up pictures of plumb lines and I came across this random blog. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with the reading in Amos, but it was an unexpected reminder of my lack of appreciation for God. Inspiring. COMPLETELY inspiring.
