COURSE ADJUSTMENTS

At any given moment, when you're sailing on Lake Michigan, a course adjustment of just one degree is almost indiscernable, but over a length of time, it will ultimately determine your final destination.

We all need course adjustments. Depending on conditions and circumstances, those adjustments may be more or less frequent. The continued adjustments ensure we will arrive at the harbor we have set our course for.

It's the same deal in our lives. We cannot simply set a course and then stick with it without any further adjustment for events and conditions. I've been finding out daily that a good "course check" gives me a better opportunity to end up where I want to go. The destination never changes. How I get there requires focused attention and an ability to adapt and adjust to different circumstances.

Sounds like we may need a sailboat to better understand following Jesus... want one? now it is a need. :)

Good call... the book Seismic Shifts hits this whole concept of how one little change can impact a whole life and church.
