Sometimes, alignment doesn’t show up in a loud worship song or a perfectly planned day. Sometimes, it finds you in the stillness of a shaded backyard, with a light breeze dancing across your face and a fan humming nearby. That’s where I found myself today, not just physically, but spiritually realigned.
Earlier during church service, the Pastor reminded us to focus on the things of God. I know that there is always room for me to do better, I can do better, and I should be better. I may even be falling short in ways that I can’t readily see.
Me falling short isn’t because I lack knowledge. I know what to do. I know Who I belong to. I know what He asks of me. That doesn’t mean I never miss the mark, it means I’m constantly checking myself, so I don’t stray away from the truth.
That’s the real meaning of aligning with “the things of God.”
It’s not perfection
It’s not performance.
It’s presence.
It’s posture.
It’s peace.
The things of God are spiritual: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22–23). They are the unseen disciplines: prayer, service, compassion, surrender. They are the quiet moments where we don’t need to say a word, but we feel God reminding us: You’re seen. You’re still mine.
So, I didn’t sit in the house all day today. I came out to my little backyard sanctuary “AKA” The Chill Spot. It’s hot outside, but under the shade, with the fan. Reminding myself that sometimes this is enough:
Just sitting still.
Just listening.
Just checking in.
Because alignment is an open heart and a teachable spirit.
Don’t confuse self-awareness with failure. Keep showing up. Keep listening. Keep creating those quiet moments. That’s how we stay aligned with the things of God, one check-in at a time.
