When Christ Rules The House
When
Christ Rules The House
1 Timothy
3:4 “One that ruleth
well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;5 (For
if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of
the church of God?)”
1 Corinthians 11:3 “But I
would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ;”
The
blood of man is amazing. If I remember
my college education, there is so much stuff dissolved and floating around in
our capillaries that water would not be comparable. In other words, water would turn to mud if it
were asked to do blood’s job. Something
about ionization, possibly, that keeps all the elements flowing along without
coagulating at every turn.
So is
the household under God. What a
farce! Do I rule with a stick?! Is that what the first verse is saying in 1
Timothy? If a man ruleth his house, he
does well? Then he is able to rule the
local church of God. Well then…
What
does that look like? Are we not stronger
when we are weak? I do not pretest to
assume I would pass this accord if Jesus were to walk by my door. If happened down my street to see my
illustrious mansion so parked on South Nicollet Street, I do not think He be
impressed in times past. See, I have not
always acknowledged my weakness before Him.
My inability to rule. Even my
ownself.
As I
am the head. As I am the gate. Even as I usher in the new day with all its
vices if I choose into my dwelling. This
place is a sanctuary. Who am I to defile
it? Too many souls at stake here to let
the enemy in his blood curdling yelps streak my youngens’ in the wee waking
hours.
I
arise somewhat early. I tend the fire. I
light the thing in inside me that needs to keep vigil. Sleep has come but it must flee that it may
come again. If I trip about the morning
in sarcasm or God please forbid, bitterness, I scare the little ones. So I keep myself upright.
True
discipline I have found is to hand over the scepter. A greater God is He who offers guidance. An oppressive king I do not know Him. I simply offer to Him my ear. He be the greatest Counselor. Why neglect this need?
