Adjustments
About six weeks ago, I spent a day with my two older brothers at my one brother’s lakehouse in Virginia. We were all working hard to impress each other with our mad waterskiing skills, when I went down hard on the water in a complete yard-sale crash. There were lots of oohs and ahhs from everyone in the boat. And when I floated back up to the surface of the water, I had a throbbing pain in my neck as an all-too-real reminder of my acrobatic feat.
Well, that was six weeks ago and even last night, I was waking up in the night, with sharp pains from trying to move my head across the pillow. So, this morning, I headed to a respected local chiropractor. Sure enough, the xrays showed some misaligned vertebrae. But thankfully, within 60 minutes, my chiropractor had gently adjusted my neck into alignment. It’s five hours later now and the pain is completely gone. Amazing. I praise God.
Why do I tell you that? Because many of us live our lives out of alignment. We experience a traumatic event, and something in our souls gets bent. We make a bad decision, and something in our heart gets wounded. We believe a lie about ourselves, God, or His intentions and something in our spirit experiences a sharp pain that doesn’t go away.
So, where do we go for re-alignment? Where do we get the gentle but firm corrective that sets our heart and soul back in proper alignment? The answer: we go to worship!
Join us this Sunday as we explore how God intends our worship times together to re-align our hearts and souls to their God-ordained posture.
See you Sunday for some re-alignment!
