What about things being not straight drive you crazy? Is it the picture on the wall? The painted trim in your house? Maybe the way your husband/wife drives? There is within us this desire to set "it" straight. In some form or another we all experience this, alot of interesting habits develop from this.
Habit 1. You get in your car, you tweak all the mirrors "just right" (that being said you maybe move them 1/8 of an inch)
Habit 2. For the ladies it may be that one pesky curl in your hair that sits "just right". (While us men sit there befuddled not seeing any change and not seeing any reason for the big deal, anywho)
Habit 3. For the Men it may be setting it straight is getting out in the wild. Be it flyfishing, hunting, camping, etc. Something about just getting out there can set things right.
Some Habits may appear light hearted others more engrained and serious. The fact is we all have a desire/need for things to be right. One problem, we weren't born right. Scripture says that "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." How frustrating that would be if that were the end, that we have this desire for things to be right, for our spirit to know that we are ok, not just ok, but created for something or even someone amazing but there didnt exist a cure.
There exists a Just, Perfect, Unblemished, Pure, Cure. That sets "it" straight, that as scripture records, "restores the years the locusts have stolen", that "heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds" that brings "freedom for the captives". Our security is found not in what we dont know, but what we know, or more importantly who we know. Jesus Christ. What do you know of Christ? What do you know of His Character? Put feelings and emotion aside for a moment, what do you know of Christ. The truth is this, He has set "it" straight just right. To live off what we know of God instead of what we dont know of life is truth.
