Make a
careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then
sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare
yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the
creative best you can with your own life. Galatians 6:4 (MSG)
Now that we have thought about the
four areas of balance: our relationship with God, our relationship with others,
our physical health, and our ability to gain wisdom, it’s time to focus in on
one area and take action. What’s the area of improvement that stands out to you
today? This is not a competition to try to become better than someone else. As
we have studied God’s Word over the last few weeks, what has stood out as an
area to focus on?
God has uniquely created each of us.
He planned for us to have the gifts, talents, looks and disposition that we
currently have. Even the four areas of wisdom, stature, favor with God and with
people is going to look a little different on each of us. Ed Young, Jr. put it
this way, “Don’t try to be someone else. You be you. Because if you aren’t,
there’ll be a hole in history and a gap in God’s creative order.”
Now that doesn’t mean that we should
resign ourselves to the thought that what we are now is all that we will ever
be. God has a plan for each of us. Taking the next step in finding God’s
balance is part of what God has for each of us.
What’s your area of focus? Go ahead
and name it. Then, go back and review the lesson on that aspect of God’s
balance for your life. What is your next step?
