There is something in the life of many of us believers that I think can be learned through this practice of mind, body, and soul discipline. Balance.
There are many seasons of life. Seasons of seasons....
For each of these we learn, change, and grow. My Most Gracious Heavenly Father is teaching me in this season to be balanced.
Balanced? A word that does not tickle my ears through conversation and study, but this word resonates in my soul, in the places of my mind that desire wholeness.
As I stand strong like a warrior I turn my palms up and I ask the Father to fill me with the weapons of self-control and forbearing that are needed to fight off the evil seeking to devour my whole family.
As I bend down with my forehead to the ground. I lay myself at the feet of Jesus to who I am a helpless child who needs guidance, direction, and love.
At last I lay face down, nose to the mat. I am spent and relieved, and I realize I am in the best place of all. Prostrate before the King on the throne. I get down lowest and life Him up highest.
Jesus walked our planet the most prefect person. The most balanced in the flesh. A time to laugh a time to morn. A time to dance and a time to be still. A time for miracles and a time to walk away. A time to embrace, and a time to turn tables. A time to give in and a time to give up. A time to live and a time to die. A time to give up to flesh, and a time to conquer over it.
Thank you Jesus for your gifts of love to me. Thank you for your perfect model of what to do and who to be. I pray you would continue to make-over my heart, mind, soul, and body so that more and more I will act, sound, and be like you. Thank you for Your gift of salvation to me.
