Alignment!!
In owning a vehicle, there's always something that needs to be done to ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly. You know how it is, oil change, new battery, new tires, rotation, alignment and etc. Sometimes when you get new tires, the technican usually asks, do you want your tires rotated and/or aligned? The reason why they ask that so that way your new tires will be balanced when you're out on the road driving.
So just as a car/tires need to be aligned, our lives need to be adjusted and/or aligned too. A person with an UNSHAKEABLE faith never judges God's faithfulness by his or her feelings. Instead, he or she believes and trusts God through the many SEASONS of life, knowing that in the end, God's PLAN will emerge as perfect.
At times in our walk with God, His way requires us to do something that, from a human perspective, seems unreasonable. From His viewpoint, however, it will be in perfect ALIGNMENT with His Word and will turn out for OUR ultimate benefit.
His goal is that we acquire a "perfect faith" - but He knows our weaknesses. He only wants us to open up our hearts to receive His love and give Him the opportunity to prove His faithfulness.
Disappointments are inevitable; discouragement is a choice.
Blessings!!
