Adjusted

 I had an appointment with my Chiropractor today to be adjusted and as I was driving home, a thought had entered into my mind; something that my mom used to tell me when I spoke to her disrespectfully, or if she thought I was getting a little too big for my britches.  She would look at me and say, "You need to adjust your attitude before it gets you into further trouble."

I smile when I think about it.  (I'm sure I wasn't smiling back then when hearing my mom's warning.)

Webster defines adjust this way:

rectify, (adjust an error) to conform, regulate.

Synonyms for the word adjust are:

-Adapt

-Conform

-Fit

-Shape

Just to name a few.

Just like when I was a child and needed to adjust my attitude because I was out of sorts for one reason or another, or I found myself rebellious or disobedient to my mom, as a child of God I've noticed that at times I still need to adjust my attitude about certain things, certain situations and even about certain people.

So how do I adjust my attitude to conform to my Lord?  

I read His Word.

Psalm 119:59 says, "I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies."

I love that!  The Psalmist thought on his own ways and decided to turn his feet unto God's Word!

When I feel a little out-of-sorts...

    and find myself needing a little attitude adjustment...

        I read God's Word, and He aligns me right back to where I need to be!

            But that's just me!

"The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God."
