We have to get it right!

Somethings we have got to get right or we will miss it! Too many hours, days, weeks, months and God help us years are so often wasted because we failed to evaluate our spiritual vision. It's like needing glasses because we are vision impaired but instead we just live life bumping into walls, straining, and missing our turns because we can't see the road signs. Spiritually we can be pursuing God and desiring to serve Him but our lack of spiritual discipline and surrender will cause us to filter life, church and relationships carnally. I so often remind my kids about the shuttle "Challenger". The building of this shuttle was massive and brilliant engineers and technicians spent considerable amounts of time on the construction of it. Everything was in order... hundreds of thousands of pieces all set right. The day came for lift off and America watched in awe as the shuttle lifted and as it shot through the sky we all saw the devastating explosion that killed the team of astronauts. It scarred the hearts of many and brought grief to their families and friends and many of us who saw it that day. Everything was right about that day and yet one tiny detail was off. A small tiny O-ring caused NASA to lose it's team and the mission stalled for a long while. Our filters work likewise. We can be doing 99% of the right thing but if we aren't letting God's word and principles be our filter then we can see devastating consequence and have a major mission delay or fail in our lives. Many people full of giftings and anointing have let carnal filters ruin the fullness God intended for them. God is truth and what we would choose so many times looks different from His plan but we can trust that God's ways are higher... in fact perfect. We can fight against that or surrender to that but we cannot change it.
