If you've had a science class you probably learned about the earth's tilted orientation as it orbits the sun. To have summer, the earth's tilt must be at a point that allows the most direct alignment with the sun's rays. Christians have a very special opportunity. It all depends on our tilt. Just like the earth needs a direct alignment with the sun to have a sun filled summer, we need to have a direct alignment with the SON to have a Son filled summer.
Summer is a busy time.
This awkward tilt, unfortunately, will send us into an early fall and often may even launch us face first into a cold dark winter. The key to a spiritual summer is to keep our lives tilted towards the Son. As the activities of summer crank up, remember to keep your tilt aimed so that you have a direct alignment with the Savior. Daily quiet times and a constant invitation for the Lord to join you in all of your summer activities will go a long way in keeping your polar axis tilted correctly. Should you find yourself a little off kilter and sense the onset of an early fall, don't wait until winter hits before you lean back towards Jesus.
