Create a Balanced Life

"The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."      1 John 2:17

 

One of the buzz phrases in today's society is, "Work, Life, Balance." Companies are sponsoring seminars to help staff those who are becoming more and more stressed out and burnt out. People are adding a personal psychiatrist to their personal doctor and dentist. Jesus is our model for a perfectly balanced life and determined success.

 

Jesus balanced His work with rest. "When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake." Matt. 8:18. He ruled His world. His devotion was to His Father and His duty was to others. Jesus loved the world but the world never consumed nor controlled Him. He submitted Himself to His Father's control and created a balanced life for eternal success.

 

Create a balanced life in wisdom with six Life Balls (God, health, family, work, friends, and recreation) in priority for lasting success. The pressures of life will try to get you to either ignore or drop one of these Life Balls. These Life Balls will help you to have the right attitude towards life.

 

Purpose in your heart to live a balanced life that will help you to grow in favor with God, "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Luke 2:52. Let the seven CHAYIL Pillars (worship, wisdom, power, honor, favor, wealth, and influence) shape your values and focus. The CHAYIL Pillars will help you to maintain the right attitude towards God from whom comes favor and blessings.

 

Kingdom Declaration:

I create and rule my world with the right priorities and with God as my Model for eternal success.

 

Read the Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 25-27; John 9:1-23
