1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
I love fireworks. I especially like the way the producers can coordinate them to music. Something about the two being in sync adds to the experience. I like for things in my life to be in sync, too. Yet often in our lives something is slightly off-kilter. We can get our bodies into shape but struggle with an emotional issue. Things go well at work, but our home life needs attention. Yesterday a friend shared the basics of a Christian recovery program with me. He said that we all have something in our life that we could use some recovery from. I chose this scripture because our best hope to bring our life into balance is to make godliness a priority. It won’t magically make all our problems go away, but it can reveal to us the things of life that should be our real priorities and help us let go of things that are keeping us off balance. Seek ye first the kingdom of God as the scripture goes.
Gracious God, We ask your blessings for this day. Help us to find balance in our lives; help us to stay in sync with you. We ask in the name of the One whose example we follow. Amen.
