Christians need balance in their life. Life is a lot like riding a bicycle. You must have balance if you ride a bicycle safely. We need balance if we are to live a happy and productive life for Jesus. If we have balance; if we “love” God and “fear” God we will avoid all kinds of extremes. But, we need that balance of love for God and fear God. Preachers need balance in their preaching. Young people need balance in their daily living. We need balance in our eating habits, balance in our bodily exercise and balance all along the way in our spiritual journey. We want to go just where God wants us to go, and not to go to either extreme in religious matter. Job said, “Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.” (Job 31:6) Follow the teachings of God in your life and you can find balance in every attitude and action. Balance will bring amazing peace, joy, and hope into your life. Let’s go to heaven together. I love you.
