Balance: I’m sure you’ve heard this many times, but getting the most out of the life God has in store for us begins with balance. So, what is balance? Although it may be different for everyone, generally speaking when we have balance we feel a sense of peace, calmness and overall contentment. We don’t feel so scattered, overwhelmed or unable to do all the things we think have to be done. When we’re balanced, we’re better equipped to accomplish our daily tasks and still have quality time to spend with loved ones, plus have a little of that fun I mentioned.
Balance is also about understanding that we have both our external tasks and our internal tasks to take care of. The external tasks are the daily activities of living while the internal tasks are how we take care of our spirit. If we only focus on our external tasks we never grow spiritually, emotionally or relationally.
Spending quality time with God is what helps us grow spiritually or internally, which in turn helps us to grow externally. Striving to know God and seeking to understand His will for our lives provides the foundation for the balance we want to achieve.
