Are you Balanced?

II Kings 10:28-31 "Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the Son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, they children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam which made Israel to sin.

Jehu was a man of Zeal. However he was what we would call a one dimensional Christian. Why is this? Although he was full of zeal and he made sure Baal was destroyed because of it being a false god. He overlooked the other false worshipers also.

Jehu didn't give his whole heart to the Law of God. Just as he didn't do this, we as Christians do the same thing. We say, God you may have everything in my life but __________. You fill in the blank. What are you keeping from God. What is keeping you from being a well balanced Christian. As my preacher says that doesn't mean your bubble in the "middle" is balanced *laughing. Some of us maybe very well balanced that way; But God means that we need to be balanced in our Christan lives.

How can you be balanced?
1. After salvation you become involved in your church. Bus Ministry, Soul-winning, choir, children's church, what ever your Pastor has that you maybe able to be involved in.
2. You read your Bible daily
3. You Pray daily
4. You enjoy your family (Don't be to busy for your family!)
5. You discipline your children when needed
6. You love your children
7. You need to know when to play and when not to.

I love the verse: A time to play a time to work, a time to mourn a time to rejoice.... I don't have it quoted exactly but you get the jest of what I'm saying. In order for us to Well Balanced and not to be to a Dimensional Christian.

What can you do today that would make you more balanced in your Christian life.
Jehu was a Man of zeal but he wasn't balanced. Do you want to be a Jehu or do you want to be different and not loose your balance!!
