SHIFT

During the Thanksgiving Holidays I had a chance to sit down and put pen to paper. (It's a lot different then sitting at a keyboard.) I sat down in a comfy chair outside The Limited Too in The Perimeter Mall in Atlanta. I had my leather bound journal with me and a pencil. I began to write. It started turning into some loose form of a poem/prayer to God and the word that kept creeping up was "SHIFT." The refrain was "shift me, shift me, shift me oh God to the right place."

I remember Pastor Mike Cowart had defined righteousness as "right positioning." Being at the right place at the right time. I'll add-- with the right intentions.

So my prayer for the past week or so is for God to SHIFT me to the right place. Shift my heart, shift my mind, shift my desires. That everything is in alignment with His will.

On Wednesday night, we will explore this SHIFTING. How does God shift us? Why? Are there benefits to being shifted? Are there negative consequences for not shifting? When does shifting end or is it a never-ending process?
