Finding the Balance

But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness. And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.

2nd Peter 3:13-14 NLT

Almost every day, while online, I see some sort of headline about finding the balance in life. How to balance your checkbook. How to balance work and kids. How to balance housework and fun. How to balance all of it together - checkbook, work, kids, housework, and fun. And don't forget your marriage, if you have one. It's crazy. 

Sometimes adding one more thing we're "supposed to do" to put balance in our lives can actually cause the crash and crumble. We can spin out of control trying to keep up with such a frenetic free-for-all.

There is only one real place to find true balance. And that is at the Cross of Calvary. The weight of our sin - all of it - weighed on Him. Our lives were in the balance and He bore it perfectly because of His great love. 

Prayer:

Father,
Help us to always remember Your Son was and is the perfect foil for the enemy in our lives. Thank You for helping us to keep our balance in whatever we do when we lean on You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
