Balance Body and Soul

Theme: Balance Body and Soul

Verse: Philippians 4:11

Life Balance is a struggle for most of us.  Put serious training for a long race in the mix and things can really get out of whack!

Time is a scarce commodity for each of us as we have only 168 hours each week (we actually had only 167 hours last week due to daylight savings time). The point is we must fit a lot into the time we have and there are no do-overs with time (unless you are a member of the Soviet 1972 Olympic Men’s Basketball Team). 

We should consider maintaining fitness a kingdom activity, and not forget that fitness is a whole-body experience.  Our muscles and our minds.  We need to feed both to enable us to do effective kingdom work.  That balancing act is difficult to manage, but be aware that the potential for imbalance exists if more than half of the battle.

So, what if we aren’t Jack Lalanne, Suzanne Somers, or Richard Simmons and not a seemingly perfect physical specimen? The good news is that we all have imperfections, and it’s through those imperfections that God has an opportunity to work through us in this world.

Have a great week!
