 BALANCE IN LIFE

"Let me be weighted in just balance, and let God know my integrity!" Job 31:6

Some of our readers will recall the old A&P grocery stores. In some of
the older stores, they measured the food, sugar, and coffees with the use
of an old scale to determine the precise weight. When the scale balanced,
you would know that you are getting what you paid for. It was an A&P
tradition to give you more than you paid for. This tradition was forgotten in later years and A&P, like so many other businesses, closed their doors. I believe that businesses, and people, that give you more than you expect 
always succeed.

With the busyness of society, many of us feel unbalanced and not poised.
The problem is that we do not give ourselves a correct balance. Life, to be happy has to give us more than we expect. That's what prayer does. The answers to prayer are always better than what we ask for.

Some of us feel that we are not getting what we are paying for with our
life. If our life was to be weighted in a scale, the scale would tip far
on the side of overwork and fatigue.

To be balanced is to be stable in your life. It is more important to be
stable on the inside than the outside, to be stable in our emotions rather
than our physical stance. By keeping ourselves poised emotionally, we
keep ourselves in balance.

God will keep you in balance. The connection to God stabilizes the most
unstable conditions. With God, you are not moved by outer circumstances. 

You are poised and balanced in God.

A bird on a limb is firmly fixed on his perch and is NOT dislodged by any
winds that blow. This bird is also ready to seek opportunity. Balance
speaks to readiness within the human being. This readiness gives the
ability to take off in any suitable direction, should a sudden opportunity
present itself. Through balance, you are ready to respond to life's
constant invitation to new and better opportunities.

When you are willing to be balanced, you let God know your integrity
through your actions. You have time to pray, and you have the time to
notice the good that God has given you. A balanced soul is the
springboard to transcend your former self and your problems, and to go
higher.

You lift your thoughts above the limitations of yesterday. Yesterday does
not weigh you down. You are in balance and poised to go forward in life. 
Nothing that has seemed to bind you, to stand in your way, to frustrate
you, or to make you unhappy weighs you down. You stand on a firm
foundation of God and move forward with God's help. With God you are
unbound, triumphant, splendid, glorious, and free.

You have an inner poise that gives you the fuel of freedom that has
nothing to do with circumstances, with conditions past or present, with
what you have thought of yourself, or what others have thought of you.

You regain your balance as you allow God to gain dominion over your
thoughts, over your feelings, over the circumstances and problems of your
life. In balance, you hold to the realization that God is with you, and
together you can transcend all things.

The balance of God sustains and upholds you as you go through the
activities of daily living. You feel balanced and poised. You feel calm.
With God, you are unlimited, unaffected by circumstances, connected to
all wisdom, all love, and all power.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, today I give my problems completely into Your care. I keep my
life open to the perfect outworking of Your will.

I recognize that God's will for me is better than I can even begin to
imagine. I rest in God and I am balanced and poised. I rely upon the
justice of God. I know that God will balance all things for the equal
good of all concerned. There is no limit to God's good. I am now open
and receptive to a just balance for my life.

With God's help, I train my thinking to understand that God wills only
good for all of us. I know there is nothing to fear in the outworking of
God's goodwill in my life. God is good and God's plan can only be good
for all concerned. I make myself open and receptive to God's guidance. so
that I can fulfill my part in the plan. I listen for God's reassurance
and God's loving encouragement as I move forward, balanced in faith.

I know that God's will for me includes balance. God's way is the right
way for me, now and always. This day, all day long, I consciously and
continually thank God for the fulfillment of God's plan for my life. As I
do my part, I know that God will do the rest.

In Jesus Christ's name... Amen
