The Balancing Act

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30

Face Facts: life is a delicate balancing act, a tightrope walk with over-commitment on one side and under commitment on the other. And it’s up to each of us to walk carefully on that rope, not falling prey to pride (which causes us to attempt too much) or to fear (which causes us to attempt too little).

Jesus said in John 10:10: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” We are far more likely to experience that full abundant life when we lead balanced lives.

Are you doing too much – or too little? If so, it’s time to have a little chat with God. And if you listen carefully to His instructions, you will strive to achieve a more balanced life, a life that’s right for you and your loved ones. When you do, everybody wins.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your many blessings. Help me to stay mindful of Your gifts as I find contentment and balance in my life. Empower me to make Your priorities my priorities and Your will my will. Bless me with wisdom and discernment to place my faith and trust in You that I may be the faithful and obedient servant You desire. I pray this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
