My Journal for Today: Today my Our Daily Bread devotional segment reminded me of something my grandfather used to say about auto repair. He maintained that he would never own a Ford product because “F.O.R.D.” was an acronym for “Fix Or Repair Daily.” He had owned a lemon of a Ford car as his first auto; and besides the regular maintenance one would expect, this Ford apparently had to be fixed so often that my grandfather had it in for Ford cars.
Certainly any car that we own requires regular maintenance (see photo) to keep it in good, running condition; and our spiritual lives require much the same thing, especially these days in an age which puts so much pressure on our minds/hearts from Satan and the world. I’ve learned that if I don’t come here EVERY MORNING to maintain my Spirit by being with God in some quiet place with an attitude as is sung by Queen Latifah in today’s devotional son, my spiritual vehicle becomes vulnerable to break down.
My morning quiet times, where God’s truth does a check-up on my spirit; and praise, prayer, and supplication give me the peace I need for any day driving through life, are absolutely necessary to allow me to fix what is broken in my life.
So, here I am today, in spirit, singing along with my song today, Fix Me, Jesus, fix me!
My Prayer for Today … Yes, Lord, … fix me. … Amen
