Lost your head lately? Over what?

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!
    Wow!  Ever experience something you just said 'WOW' to?  In The Christian life we should be able to say this often.  Why?  Because, our Heavenly Father owns the cattle of a thousand hills, controls all, and takes care of us.
   Here is a question for you to carefully think about.  The knee-jerk reaction is "Yes, I would do that!", but in reality would you?   Would you give up your life, would you lose your head (be de-headed) for professing Christ?
     What does it mean to you to be a Christian?  Too many, too often, people are "fair weather Christians".
 Huh?  Yes, if all is going well we are in church; when adversity knocks at our door we want to blame someone or something.  Here is a big question -- DID YOU PRAY ABOUT IT?  And the response will be 'Oh, yes I did, and I did not get an answer.'  Or, possibly, 'Yes, I prayed.'  But did you earnestly pray or was it one of those: "oh, Lord, here I am help me."   AND, you only did it one, yes 1, only 1 time.  God is there; He is always present; did you really consult Him, or do the 'drive by prayer' - here tis Lord fix it!  Take time, stop, STOP, bend your knees and spend, oh, just 2 minutes in HONEST EARNEST PRAYER.  Then see what happens.
   John the Baptist lost his head over Jesus Christ.  John did without, walked the wilderness, sacrificed all to proclaim the truth.  We are not asked to do this; God only asks our obedience.  We lose our heads over many things:  football teams, alcohol, marriage, lust, envy, - we 'lose our heads' or in other words, we leave God out of the equation.
   Well, I am tired of........Oh, give me a break.  If God was tired of OUR (mine & your) disobedience and gave up, where the HELL would you be?  Yep, just said it, "HELL" would be our new home.
   We need to be strong in our faith as John was.  Lose our head over sharing the gospel; not crazy over our worldly problems.  What have you lose your head over lately?  Well, my spouse..........; my boss........; the pastor..........; my friends..........., come on!  Look in the mirror a moment and let go with what is inside.  While at the mirror God is there and waiting to talk to you.
    When John the Baptist baptized Jesus (Matt 3:17) a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."  Will God speak to you and say as in Matthew 25:23 "................ Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
   John the Baptist told the truth, faced the truth, offended many (non-Christians) and lost his head for the truth.  Where are you today in your walk with Christ and in all your troubles and woes?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
