LIFE IS A BALANCING ACT

 

3/04/26 LIFE IS A BALANCING ACT

HEARD:  A balancing act. I saw a balancing beam. A right of passage. Move through to the other side. Having passed through the waters. I have redeemed you. I am keeping you.

Isaiah 43:1-2 But now thus says the LORD that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame scorch you.

WORD TO PONDER: OVERSPENDING AND TIPPING THE BALANCE 8/13/06

I have given you a daily budget of resources. That includes food, money, health, productivity, entertainment, exercise, rest and loving relationship. I have knocked on your door many, many times about overspending and living out of balance. If you eat more calories than what you burn, if you spend money that you have not earned… if you spend your health in order to gain wealth… if your activity is nothing but productivity… if your entertainment has no abstain-ment… if you are not wise and do not exercise…. if you do not rest and enjoy guests… then your life is not edifying and in balance. I love you dear one, I WANT you healthy.

Those who are living in debt of overspending are in danger of loosing the very dwelling places in which they have overspent. Cut back and bring ALL into a balance of daily benefits and load. See the scales tip the other way and one day at a time, the load will come back into balance. I know it has taken you years to get into this place, and I AM patient. But you have to try and do your part. Break the cycle of abusing the benefits I have freely given you and seek that which edifies and brings health.

Ro 2:14-16 NLT

Even when Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, instinctively follow what the law says, they show that in their hearts they know right from wrong. They demonstrate that God’s law is written within them, for their own consciences either accuse them or tell them they are doing what is right.

3/08/26 QUOTES FROM SARAH: BALANCING LIFE

Today I listened to a testimony of a mom who has 8 kids. (Sarah from Cozy Home and Lifestyle) I wrote down some random quotes that were quickened to me. Instead of pursing perfection, Sarah speaks of building rhythms and patterns for her family and life. Then she adapts when needed. She aims for a life that is steady and not stretched thin.

• Life is about balance and it should be enjoyed. Life is movement. Live it with rhythm.

• When managing how you spend your life, every Yes means there is something you are saying NO to. You cant do it all. Tackle one room at a time.

• The time we take with purposeful intention is time well spent.
