In the sixties, if you were old fashioned, you might have been called a square. This term square was a "person who failed to appreciate the music style of jazz or someone who was out of date or out of touch, hence the saying "be there or be square". In the hippy movement of the 1960s a "square" referred to someone who clung to repressive, traditional, stereotypical, one-sided, or "in the box" ways of thinking."(Wikipedia)
A square in geometry is four-sided with all side equal in length and all angles at ninety degrees. It appears to be a perfect shape with everything identical. In West Virginia we have a pizza restaurant which serves its pizza in squares. DiCarlo's Pizza makes the best pizza with a crust which is twice baked and then the cold cheese and pepperoni is put on the hot pizza and then boxed. At first, this Pizza Hut fan could not fathom eating a pizza when the cheese had not melted but I have since changed my mind and my palette.
A square in used in Exodus 28 discussing the making of the breastplate of decision for Aaron. It was to be worn anytime he went in before the presence of God with the names of the tribes of Israel and the Urim and Thummim. It is suggested from various sources these stones where used to seek God's counsel from the time of the Exodus until the time of David to seek out the will of God. One author suggested it was a search for a divine "yes" or "no". "Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the LORD.Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD." Exodus 28:30
Peter tells us we are a royal priests and the imagry comes to mind whenever we seek the will of God. Our breastplate of decision may not be visible but the importance of seeking the will of God in all aspects of our life follows this same picture of Aaron. Who do we have on our breastplate? Do we continually bring them before the Lord? Do we seek the guidance of God?
A square is made up of four sides which are equal in distance and all angles of ninety degrees. They are called right angles. In searching for God's answer are we seeking to get God's right angle on the situation?
