Live A Balanced
Life
"...they
have made me a keeper of
vineyards, but my own vineyard I
have not kept ."
(Song of
Solomon 1:6)
Are there
areas of your life that are not
"kept" because you are taking
care of everyone else? If
you're always on the go,
constantly working and never
take time for yourself, you will
end up stressed out and
overwhelmed, and you won't be
able to enjoy life the way that
God intended. Living a
balanced life brings peace, joy
and health.
The person
speaking in Song of Solomon was
good at taking care of everyone
else---his family, his friends,
his work. He made sure
everyone else was happy, but in
doing that, he neglected to take
care of himself. Are you
living like that today? Do
you spend all your time on other
people, but not any on yourself?
Eventually you will burn out.
Decide today to begin investing
in yourself. Take time to
relax and rejuvenate yourself.
When you are refreshed
emotionally, physically, and
spiritually, you are able to
give to others more effectively.
As you bring balance to your
life, you will begin to enjoy
every day to the fullest---just
the way God intended!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank YOu
for giving me the wisdom to make
right choices and bring balance
in my life. I make the
decision to put You first in all
that I do. I purpose to
take time to invest in myself so
that I may be more effective in
Sharing and giving to others.
