Whew, I don't know about you all but over the past few years finding balance has been quite a challenge.
How?
When you truly take a step back and think about balance we think about having to stand on one foot to stay upright. Also, holding something in your hand and trying to maintain the balance to keep it from falling out of your hand.
I equate that to our lives. How many times have you felt like you had to do so much just to keep from falling off or falling down? You felt like so many things were being thrown at you at one time and you're just trying to keep your balance. You're trying to stay upright.
What keeps you balance?
Think about standing on one foot. What do you need to do in order to stay balanced and upright? You have to get rooted and grounded in the other foot so that you're able to maintain that balance. It's the same thing with our lives. In order to truly get balanced you have to get rooted and grounded first. Often times we are trying to do mutilply task or achieve multiply goals without any roots. We must first get rooted and grounded in faith, love, trust, patience, true self in order not fall. Will there be storms that will come in your way and cause you to lose your balance? Yes and when you're stedfast, unmovable, focused, and determined it doesn't matter what may come your way you will maintain that balanced.
How can you maintain balance?
Always come back to your roots. Always come back to what help ground you. I always come back to God where my strength lies. I come back to his word knowing that in his word he said he would never leave me nor forsake me, he will be there until the end (Deuteronomy 31:6). That is where my roots come. In him I know that I can live another day. In him I know that I can do anything with his help. Find your roots? Find your grounding? Find where your source lies so that you can maintain your balance.
Storms may come and go but it is in our roots, in our foundation that helps us withstand any storm or test that may come in our way.
Don't loose your grounding that's how you maintain your balance.
