Isaiah 40:4.  God guides his creation to his desired end (eventually through dramas of evil and human sin).  In our martial art training, we talked about straight palm strikes and straight side kicks with pew squats (in Shiro Drills) for strong stances for kicks.  Discipline and training helps a student to focus their movement, center their target areas, and make consistent their motivation.  Being a follower of Jesus in a secular world is not easy and staying true to our faith takes effort.  While meditating on the scripture using Lectio Divina can help us to understanding and connect the lines, thus helping God make the lines straight again.
