Get In Tune With God!

This is the second of the three devotionals from my teens:

Until we accept Jesus as personal Saviour, we are Out of Tune. We are out of tune with God, out of tune with the needs of others and out of tune with ourselves. Just like a piano that gets out of tune and needs work done; we have to have work done also. But this kind of work is different from that of a piano. We have to ask the Lord Jesus to come into our hearts and lives to save us from our sins. Until we do that, we are Out of Tune (Romans 10:13).

Many people, even some who sit in church every week, hear this Good News that God has to offer them, but they Tune It Out. They may hear it, but only with their ears and not with their hearts. Their minds may be wandering and they are wishing that the preacher would hurry up and finish so they can get out of there. Oh, they are there in church, but they are not listening. They are letting the message go in one ear and right out through the other one. They may be hearing what the preacher has to say, but they are not really listening to see how it could apply to their own lives.

Then there are other people who just need a Tune-Up. They know Jesus as their personal Saviour, but they have some little thing that they need to bring before the Lord and confess before they can really run smoothly. It's like a car that needs a tune-up; it will run, but it will run more smoothly after it has its tune-up.

If you don't have that Tune-Up and don't confess your sins to God, you will still be a Christian, but you will be a stumbling block to a new Christian and even to the unsaved. They are watching you.


This one kind of ends abruptly; I'm not sure if I am missing a page or not; however, I think the message is clear what I was trying to say.
