Devotional: Spiritual Alignment Journey Day 1

 Day 1: The Need for a Spiritual Checkup

Scripture: Amos 7:7–8

Focus: God’s Plumb Line

Observation:

God shows Amos a vision of a plumb line—a tool that tests whether a wall is straight. Spiritually, it represents God's perfect standard. Israel looked religious on the outside, but was morally and spiritually crooked. God’s plumb line exposes what is misaligned so it can be made right.

A spiritual checkup isn’t about shame—it’s about truth, restoration, and growing in Christ.

Reflection Questions:

• Where might your life be out of alignment with God’s truth?
• Are you living by His standard—or your own?

Challenge:

Find 15 quiet minutes today. Ask God: “Where am I spiritually drifting?” Write down what He shows you. Don’t edit—just listen.

Prayer:

Lord, I invite You to examine my heart. Show me what I need to confess and realign. Help me walk in truth and humility, and build my life on Your standard, not the world’s. Amen.
