Head

The head is considered as the center of the intellect, as of
thought, memory, understanding, or emotional control; mind;brain.
Many times the Bible uses the phrase, "he that hath understanding...." In this understanding, we use our heads, our summation of thought, intellect, memory, emotion, past experiences, and primarily God's Word to understand..

"I pledge my Head to clearer thinking..." We should always be making conscious choices. We choose blessing or cursing.....God says to do so.
In obeying His Word, we have chosen Blessings! In rejecting His Word, we have automatically chosen cursing.
He has told His children, by way of Joshua and God's inspired Word, ( of whom we are: that is, one of His), to "choose this day whom you will serve:

Joshua 24:15


And IF it seem evil (wrong) unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
 
Deuteronomy 30:19


I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
 
We make choices every day of our life. We need to pray before we make any decision. Use your head. Make an intentional choice to love, serve, obey, and have faith in God's Word.
 
God has made us in HIS image. We are set apart from all other created beings. We have something very special; an intellect that keeps forever learning and having knowledge, we are curious about the universe, our origin, our future, our past. We have been endowed with awareness and knowledge of HIM written upon our hearts.....our head plays an important part in that knowledge.....we ARE the body and have the MIND of CHRIST:
 
1 Corinthians 2:16


For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
 
We are one with the Father IN Christ Jesus. Let us use this knowledge....I pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking......using the mind of Christ given me through the grace, mercy, and love of the Father, by virtue of  salvation In Christ Alone!
 
Victory Prayer:
Abba Father,
I pray for understanding. I need You to reveal Your will for my life. I realize I may find this in Your inspired Word, the Holy Bible, and through my relationship and communion with You through prayer. Give me a heart to seek You in every decision and to obey what You have revealed already through Your Word.
  In Jesus' name I pray. Amen and Omaine!

  1. We ARE created in the image of God. I choose to
    love and obey...to obey is better than sacrifice. They will know we are Christians by our love...let them know.
