Reclaiming Biblical Balance in a Busy World
Reclaiming Biblical Balance in a Busy World
Introduction
If your schedule is always full but your soul feels empty, you might be out of balance. Matthew 6:33 (ESV) reminds us, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." God’s definition of balance doesn’t mean doing everything—it means doing the right things in the right order.
What Is Biblical Balance?
Biblical balance is about aligning our priorities with God’s. It’s not equal time for everything—it’s putting Jesus at the center so everything else flows from Him. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."
