ADJUSTMENTS

To Shift from one position, to another.

We adjust our position, our attention, our focus and our attitude based on what is happening in/around us. Sometimes the adjustment is involuntary. But, oftentimes the adjustment is due to our discomfort with a current situation or environment. Either way, whether the shift occurs as an immediate reaction, or a well planned response—makes a huge difference.

When we have a sudden itch or pain, our reaction is to make a sudden physical shift  to make ourselves more comfortable. While a sudden lane change can be catastrophic, as can an emotional outburst of anger.

A reactionary shift could potentially lead to an increase risk, anxiety or depression.

When a living condition, relationship, or job requires a change it becomes more important to prepare a planned response.

A calculated response will more likely have a greater, and more positive influence on the overall outcome.

When I’ve taken the time to assess my situation, to pray and to wait, I allow God to work it out. My best, and most productive response has always been lead by the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 118:5-6

“When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place. The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

If your adjustment is life-altering, you don’t want to risk an impulsive reaction. You can trust the Lord to lead and to guide you through this process.

Psalm 119:105

“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet

    and a light for my path.”
