Day of Praise

Thur, 01/25/18, "Day of Praise"

Proverbs 3:6 - "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Recently, we've had car issues. Fortunately, at the moment, one of our car issues has not been the need for an alignment. Ya know, an alignment? When your car wants to keep pulling right or left at the same time that you're trying to make it go straight, then you need to get your car to a place that does alignments. In essence, an alignment "will make straight your [car's] paths," like in today's Bible verse.

It's no big deal to need an alignment for your car. It happens when you use your car; potholes, bumpy roads, curbs, and stuff like that knocks out the alignment. If you don't take care of it, it starts affecting other parts of your car, like the tires, and then it can ripple from there.

Today, like everyday, I'm going to spend time in God's word; many days I spend time in God's word with others at church or at someone's home in groups or visits.

Why so much time in God's word? Because I'm a pastor? Naaaa, I have lots of people in my life who aren't pastors who spend time everyday in God's word. So, why?

Our souls need an alignment.

My soul needs an alignment.

Your soul needs an alignment.

Ya know, an alignment? When your soul wants to keep pulling right or left at the same time that you're trying to make it go straight, then you need to get your soul to a place that does alignments. In essence, an alignment "will make straight your [soul's] paths," like in today's Bible verse.

It's no big deal to need an alignment for your soul. It happens when you use your life; potholes, bumpy roads, curbs, and stuff like that knocks out the alignment. If you don't take care of it, it starts affecting other parts of your life, like your relationships, and then it can ripple from there.

And the best thing is that God and God's Word do even better alignments for the soul than any tire place ever did for a car.
Spread the word; Worship the Lord, "and he will make straight your paths."

Praise God!
