CALIBRATE!!!

  My office printer calibrates more than twice a day and it does so, sometimes, to the displeasure of some of my colleagues at the office. 

I have a friend, his name is Eben, and at least once a week, he posts the word, "Calibrate" on his whatsApp status. For a while, I was curious about what he meant whenever he posted that word on his status...yet, I never asked him. Once, I look up the meaning on calibrate in the dictionary...and I found this: mark (a gauge or instrument) with a standard scale of readings.

It was then that I understood why the printer always calibrated several times in the course of the day. In simple terms, "it was checking itself in order to function appropriately". Well, I can't say why my friend Eben uses the word oftentimes (because I still haven't asked him). 

For me, using this word, "Calibrate" which I also post on my status a couple of times is a reminder for me to check myself and re-align myself spiritually and emotionally. 

Who IS my Standard? Jesus Christ IS my Standard. Whenever I use the word "Calibrate' it becomes my way of checking myself and allowing Holy Spirit to re-tune my affections towards him.

Hey, we are very fallible as humans but Praise be to The Only One Who IS able to keep us from falling! Daily and in most times than once, we would need to constantly re-align ourselves with The Word of God and what it says concerning us. We would need to constantly remind ourselves that we are loved, we are enough, we are worth the time and we are very much worth the Blood! 

We would have to remind ourselves of our royal status especially in those times when we feel like the lesser of the commons. We would need to remind ourselves of the Army of Angels that are at our disposal as Royals of the King of Kings and continue to walk in that knowledge. 

Mehnn... you gotta calibrate on the regular. 

Be like my office printer...and even more. Never cease to re-align yourself and never think you are crazy for doing so...even when others think you are wasting their time for trying to sort yourself out first. Most times, people want us to react in certain ways which are contrary to who we are. And when they find us trying to re-orient ourselves and keep ourselves from taking the bait, they lash out at us with so much spite. God bless their souls. We will not fall prey to their vices... instead, we will CALIBRATE!!!
