| Is Your LIfe Properly Aligned? November 2007 |
When our car gets out of alignment, we usually take it into a repair shop to get it
fixed. It is not typically an emergency repair. We usually wait until it becomes
difficult to drive straight because the car tends to pull towards one side or the other.
By this time it takes a lot more effort to drive and we are forced to be more alert
because the car can quickly drift over into another lane or off the road. All of this
keeps us busy making course corrections, all the while, wondering how we got way
over there so quickly. The good news is that a skilled mechanic can easily make
the necessary adjustment needed to get us driving straight again. All we have to do
is make the time to go in and get the repair work done.
Life as a believer is similar. We frequently get out of alignment as we walk this road
of faith. Sometimes we get ahead of the Father and at other times we fall behind,
loosing track of where we're headed or even where we are. The bible says that the
path of the believer is straight and narrow. When we are out of alignment, it is easy
to fall off the path.
The secret to maintaining a proper alignment is to set our mind on the truth. God's
word is truth. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". (Prov. 23:7) If our thinking is
not set on truth, we are then aligned with the lies of the enemy. Those lies invade
our lives, causing the need for frequent repentance, (course corrections) as our
thinking, behavior and perception of reality changes. With time, even our ability to
discern the lies of the enemy is effected.
Are you in need of alignment? The Holy Spirit is waiting to do the work. Make an
appointment anytime. Veronica Rasmussen MSW LICSW
