We often talk about the need for balance in our lives. We usually mean a balance between work and play, or between practical concerns and spiritual concerns, or between rest and activity.
The problem is, I know nothing about how to balance my life. I’m too involved. I lack the necessary perspective in my human consciousness. I may veer from one extreme to the other and back again, and I may even occasionally stumble across a middle ground between extremes. But that frantic and exhausting energy is not the quality of centered, steady movement forward that I seek as spiritual balance.
Fortunately, I find that the more fully I surrender to my spiritual potential, the less I need to worry about balance. The Presence and Power of God within me quietly takes charge. To the extent that I am willing to surrender to it, it balances my life for me.
This requires a degree of trust. I may find myself sleeping late, even though my conscious plan was to get up early and get to work. I must trust the intuitive guidance that the rest is needed. Or I may find myself working late or unusual hours. I trust that my needs for rest and relaxation are known to Spirit and that they will be honored. For me to be anxious about my needs simply magnifies the problem.
Today I affirm that what may seem out of balance to me from my limited human perspective is always an expression of perfect balance as I surrender to the power of God in my life. Thank you, God.
