I am in day 3 of severe back pain and was able to make an appointment with the Chiropractor. This was my first visit and adjustment. I have heard many people tell of what good comes from the hands of a good Chiropractor and of the horror stories. My story was one of the good ones.
After an examination, the Dr began to do her magic. Then came some very painful adjustments. The pain seemed worse than the original pain. But, just a few hours later, I was feeling awesome. I still have some discomfort but I feel so much better. I have to go back tomorrow and continue for about 12 weeks.
The Lord really spoke to my heart today with this experience. There are some discs in my back that have slipped out-of-place and it will take several adjustments to get every thing back in alignment. This is much like our Christian walk.
When we sin, we slip out of fellowship with God and we need to confess our sins to God and plead the blood of Christ. Then comes the adjustments, and sometimes they hurt. We also need to be adjusted every day. How? by spending time with the Great Physician – Jesus. Daily we need to adjust our thoughts and desires according to his purpose. We need to daily read the scriptures and spend substantial amount of time in prayer.
It’s very easy to twist or bend over in the wrong way and cause a disc in our backs to slip out-of-place, and so it is with sin. Sin is always crouching at the door of our hearts ready for us to make a mistake and let sin slip into our life and cause us pain. We must be diligent to pray and feast on God’s word – daily adjusting our minds and hearts for His Glory.
