10/25/07 Word Your GC (Godly Correctness)

Word:
Where is your mark (building start point)? Where is your plumb line? At what point do you say this much and no more? Does your measure please ME (God)? Have you measured with righteousness? Have you marked Holiness? Is your measure a fair measure? My workman who build My house have no variance in their measure. It matters not to them who has labored before them for their mark has been established in Me. Their measure is the standard of old. They care not (they are displeased with) for the mediocre. Only their finest is acceptable and fit for their King. Who among you desire (or consider) perfection. Who will put away (throw away as garbage) the untrue square? Who will repair the broken (not straight) walls that they (the walls) will stand against the wicked? Who among you have considered the labor of their own hand? Oh beloved friends and laborers, the day of your rest is in My heart. Your reward will be My joy (pleasure). Be faithful, be true (built straight), hold fast the the established mark (the architects' lay out reference points).

Comment:
Building on sand is unacceptable, when the rains come it will wash away, it's not the location that will allow the building to stand, not the site that the architect selected. Building with straw, hay or stubble is not acceptable as it will be burn up or be blown away in strong winds. A building that is not built straight will not stand when the ground shakes, it will fall over. A building that is not perfectly square, straight and true is not pleasing to the eye, nothing fits properly, it reflects on the architect, it reflects on the builder as careless, the exterior conceals interior imperfections, when the winds blow uncertain pressures build, when the rains come the roof may leak, when the snow falls the roof may collapse. Less than perfect materials accepted by the builder reveals less than perfect standards. It is not more difficult to build correctly, it just takes discipline, good tools, good materials and a desire to please the owner of the house, our Lord and our God. Who is worthy of perfection as He is Holy, we are His servants and he provided everything (tools, good materials, well designed plan and perfect location).
