Balancing

"How I wish there are more than 7days to a week!"

I am sure this is one statement we have made at least once in our lifetime.
Human being humans, we have our limitations. I, too, have my own limitations.
Work alone takes up about 12hrs per day. Take away 6hrs for sleep and I am left with 6hrs. Sometimes, it's like "Woah...! God, how to strike a balance? I am so tired!"
There are times that I feel so physically tired after work yet there is such joy at the thought of going home or going to church.
On the other hand, I must admit that I literally have to drag my feet to anywhere.
Being physically tired is just being human.

In John 4:6, it said that "Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well..."
All of a sudden, I am warmed to know that Jesus was tired too.
My saviour was tired and He sat down to have a rest.
Can't help but remember that hey... Jesus came down, be a man - Made of Flesh.
He knows me not only as God but one who comes down, gets tired, gets tempted, gets busy and gets his feet tired.



After a night of sleep, I felt that the art of balancing should be two-folds. Thus I modified the overall pic a little.
The pic on the top is very much based on the time that we have on hand.
Gotta admit that work-life plays a VERY important role in our life cause we work 10-12hrs a day. Most of the time in a day is already allocated to work.

BUT, the beautiful part about this balancing act is in being Christ-like in ALL aspects of our life keeping God the ultimate priority.
Be it at work, with friends, with colleagues, I am challenged to think of one question - What Would Jesus Do if He is in my position?
How is my integrity at work, with family, with friends and/or colleagues?
How is my thought-life?
How is my life?

The art of balancing, I believe, should be to place God above all else and the rest will flow in right.
