Mid-Faith Corrections

Watching an eagle landing is an amazing thing to see. One bird managing all those feathers and wind conditions requires a lot of coordination. Yet an eagle manages it all without a thought.

When we launched a rocket to the moon back in the late 60's the astronauts also had to make several mid-flight corrections to keep themselves on target. The same goes for us in our walk with Jesus.

We can go along fine for a while, thinking everything is okay, but then something happens and we suddenly find ourselves off course. We find we are getting farther and farther off the path that Jesus had us walking on. What do we do? It's time for a change. Time for a mid-flight correction. of our own.

Have you ever found yourself off-track in your faith. Maybe you were sitting in church one day and heard the pastor say something that made you do, "What!?" Have you ever made a mid-faith correction? And how do you know you are right in doing so while everyone else is just sitting there doing nothing?

The answer is simple. Reading The Bible is our constant. It is the "runway" when our spiritual plane is being tossed about by the wind. Prayer too is an essential tool that keeps us going in the direction God wants us to. Seeking the direction of God's Holy Spirit is crucial to our walk with Jesus.

"5Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Read The Word, pray, and follow in obedience. You will soon find out you are walking right by Jesus once again.
