Amos 7:7

Biblical Context

Amos 7:7 shows the LORD holding a plumbline on a wall, signaling that inner truth is measured by the I AM. It speaks of accountability and alignment with divine standard.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this vision, the wall is your state of consciousness, and the plumbline is the fixed standard of truth you carry as awareness. The LORD standing there is not a distant judge, but your I AM observing how you have solidified your inner beliefs into a straight, upright form. Where your inner wall wavers, the plumbline reveals the bend—your thoughts, feelings, and assumptions about life. Judgment, in this light, is not punishment but correction: a gentle invitation to revise your sense of self until your life shows a perfect vertical, faithful to who you really are. Providence and guidance flow when you accept that you are the perceiver and the measure. By choosing to align with the truth you already are—the I AM—you manifest harmony, protection, and insight. The plumbline is the sign that your imagination can become the standard by which reality is formed; your task is to dwell in the state that already satisfies the standard.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling that you are upright and true; declare internally 'I am the standard by which all is measured.' Then allow the inner truth to reframe a current concern, feeling it real.
