Too Much Of A Good Thing
Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
Proverbs 25:16
Solomon aptly describes the downfall of humans in the verse above. We discover something that is good and good for us. Then we over-indulge to the point that it becomes bad for us. The same is true in many other aspects of our life. People become so obsessed with physical beauty that it ruins them and their appearance. Some sports fans become so engrossed that no one can stand to be around them.
God has provided us many blessings that we can enjoy. However, when we take it to extremes, it has an adverse effect upon our life. As my Dad used to say, "balance is a beautiful thing". Doing without or over-indulging are wrong and can be harmful, but a balance can bring joy.
What areas of your life need a little restraint? Have you become addicted or obsessed with these items? Ask God to assist you in balancing their impact upon your life.
