Has your life become cumbersome?
Instead of giving up when things get out of balance, take a serious look at the cause. A life that feels out of balance is simply a symptom that either something needed is missing, or that something unneeded is present.
The Apostle Paul gives us the proper advice on how to remain balanced, and how to feel secure as we live the Christian life. In Hebrews 12:1-2, Paul tells us that if we desire to be steady on our feet, we must accomplish 2 things: 1. We must put away unneeded things and sin; 2. We must look to Jesus for everything.
A balanced life is one that has the right focus. That proper focus is Jesus Christ and not self. Your life does not need to be cumbersome; in fact, it can be steady at all times when you are anchored in Christ’ love.
Do not give up; God has wonderful things to fulfill in your life!
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2)
