Living for Christ... Or Christ living in me?

This morning I went over my memory verse, read my devotional, and read my bible before work.  I am liking this getting up earlier with no one to interrupt my quiet time.  Well... I read about the Israelites camping by tribal family (each group a descendant of of one of Jacob's sons) around the tabernacle and how they picked up and moved in order.  God likes order. In Acts Paul was up before Felix... Until Felix stopped him and wanted to wait for a more opportune time... (Satan's quote after not getting Jesus to sin in the wilderness.) I left Paul there to go to work. The big thing this morning was my devotion. Blackaby. He talked about letting Christ live through us...  instead of doing something on our own for God, getting complimented on it, and passing the compliment on to God for our accomplishments. He said to live in this way is a self centered way to serve God. Made me think... Is my "works" worthless to God? Has everything I have ever done in the name of God been something I did and then ask Him to bless or have I been allowing Him to live through me?  I have meditated on that all day and still don't have an answer. I pray that He is living through me. Still holding on to Romans 8:28...later my blog friends!.
