To rectify means to set right, correct, adjust. Removing errors, defects, deficiencies and deviations. It’s the process of amending, debugging, rewriting and repairing.
I don’t throw this word around often, but it’s super solid and it’s a necessary process that is needed to gain the promised abundant life! (John 10:10) I picked it up in Natalie Cole’s song, “This Could Be An Everlasting Love.” She sings, “I’m so glad you rectified my mind!”
This blows me away, for isn’t this the KEY? Don’t we all need to be rectified like this?
Wouldn’t you agree that life is either lost or found in our minds?
A mind rectified by everlasting love is the Lord’s end goal.
Abolish the old and take up the new.
Travel with me through the pages of “Unlocking Life.” We’ll start in Isaiah 51 and follow Abraham as he leaves the familiar and sets out for the promised land. We’ll meet up with David and Noah. We’ll stop at the foot of the cross. We’ll have a chance to sing our songs of brokenness. Every part of the journey will escort us into the arms that never let us go and set our minds on what’s true.
Rectified and Redeemed is the Lord’s aim. Jesus is everlasting love.
Be smitten for Jesus and know that He is crazy about you.
Lord, write in what’s true. Wreck and rectify us in the middle of our minds, and we’ll be glad. We will then live in the life you’ve promised, anticipate with confidence the life to come and live to tell others. Amen & Alleluia.
Did you know that a sound mind is our inheritance?
Consider meeting me on the pages, and be sure to let these lyrics overwhelm your soul.
