It is no longer I who live

It is no longer I who live

 

This morning I woke up with my sinus giving me a fit.  I am almost embarrassed to say it, compared to what most of us have been dealing with in the last few months.  I have more pressing things and more important things I am struggling with myself, but today this little problem slowed me to a crawl.

When the weather changes from cool to hot and rain to not, my sinuses act up.  I feel like my body is moving in slow motion and I am unable to think clearly.

The morning guy was struggling this morning.  As I started to read my Bible I focused on Galatians 2:20:

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. “

Then a BFO (Brilliant Flash of the Obvious) hit me, dead people do not fight.  Dead people do not push and struggle. In Christ today, I am no longer living.  The life I now live is Christ living through me, sinuses and all. 

So, I started asking the right questions this morning?  What are you up today in my life?  What is it that you are slowing me down so that I will not miss?  What is it that you are slowing me down to avoid? 

Lord, help me today, to not resist your guidance and direction.  Help me to not miss what you are wanting to show me and do in me today.  Thank you Lord, for today cloudy thoughts and all!
