Balance

Do you understand the need for balance? Balance is not a middle position between excellence and mediocrity. In a physical sense balance keeps you from falling over one way or the other, and balance has a spiritual counterpart. Even unbelievers understand the need for balanced lives.  There are many situations in which there is a tension between two positions, and to do things exactly right you have to avoid excesses on both sides. There is a proper emphasis and time for everything. Ask of me and I will give you wisdom to achieve this balance. Learn to be comfortable with the dynamic tension that produces it.
