The Key to a Balanced Life

Daily writing promptHow do you balance work and home life?View all responses

The human mind and heart can easily and quickly get out of balance and tumble into discouragement and depression. I’d like to recommend the way I’ve been able to balance my life to you. I convinced that it will work if you will consistently follow it.

Set up your mind and your heart to live a life that stays always logged on to Jesus and ever obedient to His promptings and notifications. Keep Him constantly pulled up on your inner screen.

The Christian mindset is to have your heart firmly set on hearing and obeying the inner promptings of the Holy Spirit. It is to do what God requires instead of pursuing your own desires. God wants to put His laws on your heart and write them on your mind. (See Hebrews 10:16.) He wants you to set your own preferences aside so that you can abide in His will and not quench the Spirit.

Jesus put it this way: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (Matthew 16:14.) You can’t follow your own desires and God’s desires at the same time. Decide to let God’s Spirit be your moment-by-moment inner guide by following His promptings stride by stride. May your choice always be to obey the Spirit’s still small voice and to promptly and faithfully do what “Christ in you” tells you to regardless of the consequences.

Many Christians today are listening to religious podcasts. O that more would listen intently to God-casts in their heart! The blood that flowed from Christ’s wounds made the way for the rivers of His Spirit to joyously flow from within you. Open up to the risen Jesus and live your daily life by Christ’s inner flow.
