Maintaining balance through it ALL!

It is with great joy that I write to you tonight as I seek to share with you the end-time plan of the enemy of which God would not have you ignorant.

You constantly find that your life is so full of activities that you wonder how you are able to cope with it all. The truth is that most don't cope well and as a result they are cheated of the joy, peace and rest that God promises to all who are in Him. Others manage to get by, seeing life as a chore in itself but not necessarily deriving any pleasures from what is their portion of vanity in this life.

So how do we sort out this mess?

One thing is for sure... God himself said in His word in Jeremiah 29:11:

For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 states:

I know that there is nothing better for them than to be glad and to get and do good as long as they live; And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labour- it is the gift of God!

God desires that we reap the fruits of all our labour. But how is it that we work so hard yet we are unable to enjoy the fruits of our work?

The answer is simple: We tend to live on one extreme of life. That is, we are either working too hard and having no rest; or we are having too much rest and no hard work at all. We run on a certain extreme of life to the point that other aspects suffer.

My sister, we need balance! The bible commands us to fulfill ALL righteousness and not just some. The same bible commands us to be well balanced in all things (1 Peter 5:8):

Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.

The enemy will cheat you of what is rightly yours if you don't start living wisely. You can be balanced in all things but still do exploits for your God.

I love you dearly and remain in prayer for your victory!
