Balance is a very important part of our spiritual life. 1 Peter 5:7 speaks of how it is an instruction from God to keep the enemy away. For years I have tried to maintain an established order in my life and when I do, I experience emotional calmness and peace. Our lives can be measured in scales and if we are doing too much of one thing and neglecting another, the scales will tip more to one side lifting everything else up or weighing something else down. Finding our balance equals stability, which then brings maximum ability to our lives, which enables us accomplish all God has asked us to do. I am a firm believer we are all called to serve somewhere or someone. Whether you stay at home, work part time or full time, God asks us all to serve and give back in His name. I missed that for years. Although I knew the importance of giving of your tithes and offering, I see now that I received something in return. When you give your heart to serve, you give of yourself for someone else's gain, expecting nothing in return. In the end, we gain so much because that is how the Lord is. In knowing this, we may tend to commit to too much and this may cause an uneven scale, so even with good things, we must find what works for us and the challenges of life. If you struggle with feeling overwhelmed or being unorganized then ask the Lord to help you prioritize and help you find your balance in life so you too can be all He calls you to be. Do it today, He is waiting! Be blessed always!
1 Peter 5:7
