Life is a constant juggling of demands, defined priorities, pressing crisis, current desires and future hopes. We find ourselves chasing the “best” and settling for the “mediocre.” Our frustration leads us to believe that we cannot find balance and success with the current process of living.
I suggest that we need to settle into the path of trust and obedience to find true balance. The internal conflicts of reality and integrity tear at our peace. The external pressures of the “mob” and “conventional wisdom” direct us down paths of greater conflict.
Following the global recognition and Christian celebration of the “hinge” of history; the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we should reconsider our direction and purpose and reestablish our path in light of this reality!
The “Centered Life” of balance is found only on the fulcrum of truth, resting on the hinge of history, the One who was dead and now look, He is alive forever more! Begin the adventure, follow Him.
