I've been going to see a chiropractor for the last few months. He has done wonders for my back and neck. I had problems with my shoulder as well. After one good adjustment on the shoulder, viola, no more issues! I was in bad enough shape at the start that he had me doing three visits a week. Now I am down to one. I feel fantastic!
After one session, he grabs my head and prepares to crack my neck. I'm waiting for the release of pressure. When he finally cracks it, I'm like "oh my, that was really good!" He proceeds to say that he doesn't know how people go through life without getting adjusted. As soon as those words came out of his mouth, I thought "I don't know how people go through life without Jesus!" I didn't say that to him, I just had that thought.
He goes on telling me about how a persons body can/will get out of alignment and need adjusting. He said he didn't know how people dealt with it.
I thought about that from a different perspective. Peoples lives get out of alignment when they aren't following Jesus! I know, I was one of them at one time!
Ephesians 2:12 Living Bible
12 Remember that in those days you were living utterly apart from Christ; you were enemies of God’s children, and he had promised you no help. You were lost, without God, without hope.
His solution for adjustment is a chiropractor. My solution is reading The Bible! His adjustments are physical. He adjusts bones and body parts. My adjustment is mental. I read The Bible to learn about God and how to live like Jesus!
So when a person starts feeling like their body is getting out of alignment, they go see a chiropractor. When I feel like my mind/life is getting out of alignment, I turn to The Bible. Which is an everyday occurrence. I need Jesus' help everyday, not just when I'm feeling a little out of alignment. I read His word and try to put into practice what it says.
Psalm 119:105 New Living Translation
105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
Not going to lie. I still need to see the chiropractor. I still need my body to be put in alignment. I just need Jesus' alignment more!
So I encourage you. If you need a physical alignment, go see a chiropractor. If you are in need of a spiritual alignment, turn to Jesus! His alignment is perfect!
God bless.
