“Is He In Your Head?”

                                                              Key Verses:   Galatians 1: 6-9 

                              I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who

                           called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel.  Gal 1: 6

          I love the prayer that begins, " God be in my head."  When

I first heard it, admittedly I thought it sounded a little weird.  But thenI got to thinking how unfortunate it is if in our effort to get closer to Jesus we focus on our emotional experience of Him and check our brains at the door.  Without His truth ringing in our heads, we're bound to get off track. 

Just look at the early Christians,  False teachers filled their heads with misinformation, saying that salvation and spiritual growth could be attained only through keeping the requirments of the law.  When Paul heard of it,  he was astonised at how quickly they had gotten off track: "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ" (Gal 1:6).  It's not just false teachers who lead us astray.  Our world is full of twisted thinking like, "If it feels good, do it," or "The one with the most toys wins."  Let's face it, you and I can't afford to check our brains at the door. In fact, intimacy with Jesus begins with getting to know Him, and it's the facts about Him that make us want to get close to Him. 

So, strange as it may sound, if you want to stay on track with Jesus,  start each day by asking Him to be in your head!  To saty on track, let God guide your thinking. 

SALVATION IS THE MIRACLE OF A MOMENT; GROWTH IS THE LABOR OF A LIFETIME.
