Grace and peace to you. Here is the word for today.
📖3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers. [ AMP]📖
✅ According to our anchor Scripture, we see John, the elder writing to Gaius, his dear friend, whom he loves in the truth. Praying that he may prosper in every way , that he may be in good health and His soul also should be prospers, that was a prayer based on the principle of a balanced life.
✅ God also demonstrated this principle of balance as one of those laws upon which He applied in creating and establishing the universe. For instance, the earth is perfectly tilted on its axis to sustain and nourish life. A few degrees one way or another and we’d either burn up or freeze. It is perfectly balanced, and God intended it that way for our good.
✅ God wants balanced life for us as well as along with the peace, purpose, prosperity, good health and joy that comes with it. I want to share with you some biblical principles to help you live a balanced life that are found in God’s word.
✍Let your life be built around Christ Jesus. In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus summarized life’s priorities in this way: Love God and love people. If that’s the only thing you get done in life, you’ve struck the right balance. That’s how Jesus lived, and He was the only perfectly balanced person ever. As His disciples, we ought to emulate the example He exhibited.
✍Accept that your a human . When you overwork, you’re playing God. You’re saying, “It all depends on you!” No, it doesn’t. You can resign and it’s not going to fall apart. God will take care of things just to show you that it’s by your strength and hard work . Paul put it clear that we can only do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthen us. “Philippians 4:13 I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me”
✅Jesus doesn’t necessarily promise us perfect “balance.” But He does offer us peace. His peace is the peace of knowing that He has our situation in hand. Come what may, His love for us will never change (see Habakkuk 3:17-19 and Philippians 4:7). “These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace,” He told his disciples. “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). This peace is one of the foundational principles of the kingdom of God. Christians have been transferred into that kingdom as joint-heirs with God’s Son (Colossians 1:13). The Bible tells us that the kingdom is not just a future expectation. It’s a present reality (Mark 1:15). This means that we can experience peace here and now. We may not experience it perfectly, but we can still know that it is real and that is a balanced life.
✅Train yourself to listen to the Holy Spirit. Concentrate on the few tasks He has assigned you. Remember that life in Christ isn’t about being “Supermom,” “Superdad,” or “Super-Christian.” It’s a question of learning how to channel your time and energy into the fulfillment of your own unique calling and God given purpose by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT that lives within you in Jesus Name.
