Good Morning...

Short devotion today....

Currently in Hicks House (actually as I type this...)

Our new furniture is arriving. Boxes. All over the place. This stuff comes in 'pieces'.

Well, in order for the NEW to take their 'new' places... The OLD must be discarded! Hmmmmmm....

The delivery men are painstakingly putting together the furniture all under the "watchful" eye of MY DIANNETTE... Cause we don't want no scratches, dings, nicks, cuts, bruises.... On the new!

The OLD MUST GO... Old things are past away...behold... All things have become new...

Thoughts
Habits
Faults
Ways
Pressure
Feelings
Memories....

Move those out so that the new can move in...

Victorious living
Powerful thinking
Freedom in soul
Release from Past Prisons
Newness of Life (Abundantly)

Hmmmmmm got to run.... The delivery men just delivered the wrong dining table base...

What Would Jesus Do!?

Good Morning... Again...

Have a great Weekend....

Good Morning...

"Alignment"

Previously on the Hicks Estate!

As we continue,

Yesterday, I was on my knees in front of my car looking at tires that had been used, worn, exposing metal (steel belt) because of an 'alignment' issue.

I was troubled. Perplexed because my thoughts of my family's safety was at stake! I thought about 'how long' were these tires being effected by the bad alignment and how many miles of road had we traveled 'unknowingly" in danger.

The Process of Aligning a Car is engineered by a machine with 'in fra red scopes' on them, with a gadget that connects to all 4 tires. This units works collectively to use a 'line of site' adjustment. The mechanic then adjusts the 'sway bar' and a few other connection points under the car! To correct the alignment issue.

I purchased 2 tires immediately. Ordered a wheel alignment. Now the car feels new again and the 'rough ride' is eliminated...

Yes! I thought about my life, my walk with God!

When I'm experiencing 'a bumpy ride', when I being 'pulled to the left', 'pulled to the right', when I am not 'feeling GOD today' I have to check my alignment.

I have to check whether or not I am still being directed by His Spirit.

*On our knees is where we 'follow'. On our knees is where we get our alignment corrected. In the presence of the God who love us... We can receive the 'aligning' we should have to live at peace with all men. In the process of aligning through prayer we have the 'MASTER Mechanic' checking our Alignment to make sure we are not 'swaying' from HIS course for our lives.

Mis-aligned tires can 'blow out' causing accidents, injury or death..."Check Yourself before you wreck Yourself".

Are you in Aligned? Are you in tuned!? Are you in the lane where God wants you? Are you allowing God the rights to make 'adjustments'?

Get Aligned.
Stay Aligned.
Ride the wave of God, safely!

*(Now... I'm using 'on your knees' as a symbolic reference to prayer. Not a prescription on how you get prayer done..... Just do it!)
