Many of you have been on the planet long enough to remember when televisions received their signals exclusively through the air. We generally could receive the three major networks and eventually a few local channels through something called UHF. You actually had to go over to the TV set to turn it on and when you changed channels the dial usually clicked noisily from channel to channel. Generally the other times you would approach the set would be to adjust the signal. There were two controls: Vertical and Horizontal Hold. Sometimes the picture would flip vertically like a a ruffled deck of cards and sometimes it would move sideways. A deft touch with the Vertical or Horizontal Hold would restore the picture. In our walk with the Lord we pull our signal out of the air on the antenna of the heart. When our focus is a bit off it usually shows up either in the Vertical (up to God) or Horizontal (sideways with other folks) directions. I think this is when the Holy Spirit walks over to our controls and makes an adjustment. I remember a few TV sets we had seemed to have frequent adjustment problems and others held their picture with little tweaking required.
Get the picture?
Proverbs 25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.
