Regaining Our Balance
January 18, 2012

For the last few years, my wife, Marlene, has suffered from inner-ear problems that cause her to lose her equilibrium. Without warning, something inside her ear is upset and she becomes dizzy. If she tries to sit or stand, a condition called vertigo makes that impossible—and she has to lie down. No amount of effort can compensate for the power of the inner ear to disrupt and disturb. An active person, Marlene finds these unwelcome episodes frustrating.

Sometimes life is like that. Something unexpected upsets our routine, and we are knocked off-balance. Perhaps it’s bad news about our job being eliminated or disturbing test results from our doctor. It may even be an attack from our spiritual enemy. In each case, our emotional equilibrium is hammered, and we feel as if we can’t stand.

Those moments should cause us to turn to God. When we feel we are losing our balance, He can help. He provides spiritual resources to help us stand. Paul says, “Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Eph. 6:13).

When life knocks us off our feet, we don’t have to be frustrated. With God’s strength lifting us up and God’s armor protecting us, we can still stand strong.

With patience in His love I’ll rest,
And whisper that He knoweth best,
Then, clinging to that guiding hand,
A weakling, in His strength I’ll stand. —Pentecost

We can endure anything if we depend on God for everything.

Read: Ephesians 6:10-18

Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. —Ephesians 6:13

Bible in a year:
Exodus 8-10

Happy 32nd Kath!

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...this may be a really short thread it the test won’t open. Nothing I can do about it from work. *sigh*

Hope you had a nice sunny day...we are cold again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Another sunny day here but a rather boring one too. We got a flash flood alert (when there's no rain) and a high surf warning (when the ocean is flat), so I guess the weather folks have too much time on their hands lately.

Thanks, my. d:o)

Thanks very much, Kathy!

*HUGS*

As it happens, we don't need our mittens here tonight - we topped out at 68 degrees this afternoon - basking in the low fifties at this hour. Hope you are staying warm this evening!

You Are Conventional

You are down to earth and practical. You do extremely well with structure.
You're pretty happy with your life as it is. You've got a good thing going on.

You work hard... but not too hard. You always have time for your family and friends.
You don't think there is a secret to life. Simply do the right thing, and you'll be fine.
