ULTIMATE CHOICE

 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21

For a Christian, nothing is more important than knowing Christ and living for Him. Nothing is more important than showing others what Christ is like, by the way you live life. This doesn't happen by accident. Every day you make choices about how you will behave, how you will relate to other people, what your actions and reactions will be. Every day you choose over and over whether or not you will live for Christ. 

The last part of this verse puts life in perspective. As you make these constant choices, you are also choosing your place in eternity. A Christian believes with all her heart that living for Christ is important, and that dying brings it with the promise of a great  reward - being with Christ forever. That puts the things of this world in perspective, doesn't it?

Prayer : 

Dear Lord, help us to live for Christ everyday of our lives, help us to stay focused on You.

Amen
