Calibration is essential for maintaining the quality and reliability of measurements in various fields such as science, engineering and manufacturing. To ensure accuracy it is necessary from time to time to recalibrate; check and reset to true settings. As this year comes to a close it is time for us to recalibrate our lives. Self evaluation is sometimes very hard to do, yet; it brings healing and forgiveness if we are brave enough to dive into the waters of our memories.

In our reflections to be honest about who we have wronged, hurt, misunderstood, disparaged, or not forgiven. To muster up the courage to seek restoration of broken relationships; to ask for and grant forgiveness. Life’s journey can lead us on pathways to or from what is most important. We must decide which path to take, this is not always easy. Self is reluctant to admit the need for change, it wants to remain the same; even if traveling in the wrong direction.

There will come a time in everyone’s life when we will need a Spiritual calibration, it will be necessary to recalibrate our focus back to the greatness of our God; to recognize His power and authority over us in all things. If we do not acknowledge that we make mistakes and sometimes need to change our ways, it can have negative consequences for us. Proverbs 15:32 says “Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.”

No matter how far we may have traveled on the wrong pathway we can change our direction, but; recalibrating our direction will not be easy; we will need help. God’s word along with His Spirit’s use of it is the power we will need to show us our errors and give us strength to conquer self, submit to His leading and allow Him to reset our journeys path. When we take hold of His hand and walk where He leads our lives will be recalibrated and our direction true.
