Not too long ago, I noticed a lot of
movement, tremor, and shimmy in my steering wheel.
I took it to be checked
out only to discover that the problem
wasn’t really the wheel. It was the
alignment of my car. In fact, I even saw
that my tires were wearing unevenly
simply because things were not aligned properly.
Even if I would have bought new
tires, I would have simply worn them out
as well because the problem wasn’t the
tire or the wheel,
it was the alignment. There are a lot of
worn-out relationships today. There’re a lot
of tremor in people’s lives. Marriages
are unraveling, and you can see the tread.
People try to replace it with new
relationships. They try to fix it with programs
when they haven’t solved the
basic problem of the alignment being out
of order. You know, the creator of
marriage, God Almighty, also has created a
way for marriage to work, but only when
it’s aligned properly under Him.
Check your marriage alignment, because you may
be fixing or seeking to fix the wrong thing.
