Where's My Head?

I have been working very hard over the past 8 weeks to get my body in shape, as I have been following the P90X DVD's. Now, in no way am I some ripped Tony Horton at this point but I have lost 20lbs and have muscles that I have never seen before. I plan to continue to do P90X after this cycle is complete just because it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something as well as it just making me feel better in general. I believe that being in good physical shape is something that everyone would like but very few put in the time and effort to accomplish it (that could probably fit the Christian life as well). As I started to work out everyday I thought about people I saw on TV, great specimens of physical fitness. I think about people like those UFC fighters who just are in phenomenal shape and have muscles from every part of their body. Now, what if those huge muscle bound people had no head? They would look really ridiculous wouldn't they? This is exactly what happened to the church at Colosse. They had forgotten their head (Christ). Colosse being a huge travel route, they gained access to all kinds of new world stuff, including new world religion. The Apostle Paul writes to the church at Colosse to remind them that they have lost their Head. It's amazing how God works in our lives. This study of Colossians could not have come at a better time for me. With all the things that life requires of me right now, I had forgotten my Head as well. With all the training that I have been doing to get my physical body in shape I had neglected my spiritual health. As I close this out for today let me share two verses.

Colossians 1:18-"Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body." (NLT)
Colossians 1:22-"Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body, As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault." (NLT)

I realize that we all need to work out physically and spiritually but Colossians 1:22 got me this morning to just imagine that because of the work of Christ I can come before God holy and blameless.
