You could probably read it once you became accustomed to the format which shows how amazing our brains are. The first and last letter of each word is correct, but the letters in the middle are jumbled.

I doubt you could.  If you place your hands on the keyboard and move your fingers one key to the right, nothing makes sense. Our brains can’t immediately figure this one out.

The same thing is true in our lives when the fingers of our heart are not set on the right keys. We all make typos or mistakes in life, but nothing makes sense when our fingers don’t start out in the right place to begin with.

Starting our day with God places our hands on the right keys of life each day. We may still make mistakes, but God provides the spell check to fix them.

What are you typing up in your life? Is it gibberish or clear? Do you need divine spell check? Ask God to step in and give you a clean slate.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9).
