Timing

I had a verse floating around in my head all day, and when I came home, a friend had posted it on facebook. God certainly has an interesting sense of humor, and timing. The verse was Philippians 1:21.
For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
That's a powerful verse. That's how I want to live my life, completely sold out for Christ. I fail at that so often. I let all kinds of other things come between me and my Adonai. What I think needs done, day to day routine, so many little things that reduce life to merely living. It's so easy to fall into a routine and forget how exciting living for Christ is. Come on! I know the cure for death! I know Christ. How can I not live in excitement? It's not comfortable and it's not an easy road. But it's worth it! I run away from a lot of things. Why? If my God is for me, who can be against me? What can man do to me? The road Christ asks me to follow is uncertain, but He goes before me! The choices are living in boredom, being comfortable, or following Christ down an unknown road I can't see. I'm tired of running away. Christ is my life. Now let's see if my actions match my words, match where my heart wants to be.
