Are You Level-Headed?


In the 45 years that my husband and I have been married, he has hung pictures for me hundreds of times.  Whenever he hangs a picture, we both look at it to determine if it is straight.  My husband may think it’s leaning to the left, while I may think it’s leaning to the right.  In order for us to determine the truth, my husband gets out his trusty level.

For those of you who may not know what a level is, it is a rectangular device with a little tube in it that contains a liquid with a bubble in it (See the photo above).  When you’re trying to figure out if a picture is straight or not, you place the level right under the picture frame or right over it and hold it there.  When the bubble lands smack in the center of the level, it means that the picture is straight.

 Do you know that God has given us a level to measure whether or not our lives are straight? In other words, whether or not we are living our lives according to truth?  The level God has given us is the Bible.

 Whenever you are not sure whether something is right or wrong to do, go to the Bible to find out. 

 The Bible is your manual for living. Just as your parents got a manual when they bought their car or their washing machine, so did you get a manual when you were born into this world. That manual is the Bible. It tells you how to keep from breaking and, if you do break, how to get fixed.

 The problem is that most people don’t read the Bible until they break. 

 Don’t be one of those people. Read your Bible every single day.  You wouldn’t think of missing a day feeding your body, so why would you miss a single day feeding your spirit?

 Bottom line, if you want to become level-headed, read and study the Bible. If you do, you will keep your life on the straight and narrow path, the path of truth, joy, and peace.
