The Balancing Act

everybody is amazed how the tight wire person walks the taut wire. the question arises, "how can any human keep their balance with death starring them in the face below?"

with our job, family, school, finances, recreation, and much more starring us in the face, how do we differ from the tight wire act? where the person tries to keep balance with his body, we try to keep balance with our entire life. both are a balancing act.

here is the difference. when the tight wire act is jeopardizing their physical life 100 feet in the air, we are jeopardizing our spiritual life everyday. God understands that life is hard and crazy. he understands that it is hard to keep balance. he even understands our hardship so much that he created an anatomy that our bodies are hurt when we are not balanced correctly. we have a ph scale that makes us balance our acidic level. our body must keep an equilibrium in order to stay healthy. God created us to stay balanced. but that is not always the case.

if we are not staying balanced, then our lives, as we all know, will be a mess. Satan strategically puts obstacles or stumbling blocks in our lives to keep us off balance. when he does, we are tempted more easily, anxious, fearful, nervous, worrisome, and so on. (if this is the case then pray, Phil 4:6) God wants us to be balanced. placing him above all us, but also placing him with all else. our balance is weighed out by how much God is in each part of our lives.

• does God have weigh in on our jobs?
• does God have weigh in on our schooling decisions?
  
• does God have weigh in on family situations?
• how much does God weigh in on your every decision?

our balance is measured by how much God is weighed in with every situation in our lives.

how well are we balanced?
