What If God was truly the head of my life

2Chronicles 7:14"If my people,which are called by my name,shall humble themselves and pray,and seek my face,and turn from their wicked ways;then will I hear from heaven,and will forgive their sins,and will heal their land."

There was once this young boy, he went into a store ,using the phone he called Mr.Smith, he asked "do you have someone to do your yard" .Mr smith replied yes, the boy said "is he doing a good job, are you happy with his work," the man said yes.The owner of the store over heard the conversation, feeling bad ,said don't worry son, you'll find a job. The boy said "oh I have that job, I just wanted to know if he felt I was doing a good job".

 How would God feel about the job you are doing? We often talk about how important God is in our life, but is he really?Have you ever just really sat down and thought about it. When was the last time you sat with your child and went over sunday school home work, or the last time you and your family,read the bible, attended sunday school, or bible study together.When was the last time you made preparations for God, like you do for school, for work, or even to go out on a date.

If we really look honestly at our relationship with God ,we will see it has actually deteriorated some.( Now I know church folks are the holiest and hardest to point out short commings with, Jesus had the same problem with the church folks of his time.) But God has chosen us to be reprentatives of his character, an example of his Love,a reflection of his caring,sharing and concern for a lost world.But over the years we have drifted away from God, and have become less like the holy people God wants us to be.(Truthfully, would you want God to treat you like you treat him,love you like you love him .)We still worship God,but we also worship the things God has blessed us with, and we no longer serve God.We have become self focused, self absorbed, and we don't seem to care as much for the less fortunate,the way Jesus wants us to.Jesus shedded just as much blood for that homeless beggar , as he did for the greatest person you know in this world,and he loves him just as much. The bible says "as you do to the least of these, you do to me".How many times in this new year, have you said no to God, when he was hungry, naked,in prisioned, or thirsty.Saints let us take our love of the Lord, off of our lips, and put it into action, that the world might see it,that's how Jesus said the world would know we are his.Let us become the true christians we claim to be.It is when we truly do our part that God will heal this land. For the text says"If My people ,which are called by my name,shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face,and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will heal their land." Saints the world is dying to see the God in us that we claim to posess, let us truly make him the head of our life.

  1. Saint taking an honest look at self is the one of hardest thing we as Christians have to do, but we should do if.We might be the only bible some will read,the only church some will attend,
    and the only experience of God's love they will ever know.Make God truly the head of your life.
