John 17:4-5 I brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you told me to do. And now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.
Balance means living a life that honors God, others, and yourself in the way you use your gifts and spend your time and resources. One of the greatest mistakes leaders make is getting out of balance by over-emphasizing one aspect of their responsibilities at the cost of other areas. God assures you that there is a time for everything as well as a time for everything he calls you to do. Jesus, with all his potential and all the needs around him, left much undone yet completed all God had given him to do.
Luke 5:16 But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.
Jesus modeled a life balanced by involvement and withdrawal, action and reflection, mission and meditation, effort and then time for spiritual energizing. This pace allowed him to remain open to God's direction instead of human pressures. Balance helps you realize that the need and even the opportunity are not necessarily the call of God.
