If you are feeling tired, overwhelmed, depressed, insecure, angry, unloved, bitter, hostile, critical etc., it probably is because you are out of balance.

Balance theory of life

 

The center of our life is our Heavenly Father followed by his son Jesus Christ. Everything we do in life centers around them and they should be included in everything we do. We need to make sure we keep the above areas in balance with one enough.

 

Consider that each four of these is on a pulley so that if we pull from one area, it draws or pulls from the other areas. Too much work (vocation) takes away from the other three areas, maybe proportionally maybe disproportionably. Likewise too much physical exercise will draw you away from the other three areas.

 

The key is to keep all four areas in balance with one another keeping our center or focus on our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ his son, our Lord, redeemer and savior.

 

This is not a one-time assessment but an every hour of every day assessment.

 

The only way we will keep these four areas in balance with one another is through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

 

We need to pray continuously, find joy in everything, be content in every circumstance and follow the command of the Lord.

 

It is too easy to get out of balance and not even be aware of it.

 

Self-assessment is critical if you are walking in the ways of the Lord, the Holy Spirit will let you know if you are out of balance.

 

The Lord instructs us not to seek self-gratification. Philippians 2:3 – Do nothing out of self-ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself. James 3:16 – For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. Proverbs 18:1 – An unfriendly man pursues selfish ends, he defies all sound judgment.

 

We are here to do the work and will of the Lord, not our own will and work. Be mindful therefore not to seek after treasures on earth for yourself but seek to satisfy the Lord by loving and serving his people.

 

Thank you Lord for this bit of inspiration, I do like when you inspire me and I thank you for letting my hand hold up long enough to jot down these thoughts. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, I love you Lord.

 

Watch over me today, may I be a beacon of light and bring joy into those around me. I commit to doing your will and your work and getting my life in balance with you as the center or focal point.
