BALANCE
Today's reading: Psalm 119:89-176

"My life constantly hangs in the balance, but I will not stop obeying your law." Psalm 119:109 NLT

"My soul is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget thy law." Psalm 119:109 KJV

Balance-physical equilibrium; a stability produced by even distribution of weight on each side of a vertical axis.

Every choice is a choice to live for God--or not.

A decision to be made between a blessing and a curse.

A choosing among life or death.

It is a constant balancing act, of sorts.

Our soul, our very being, lies in the palm of our hands with each choice we make, ready for someone or something to take it.

Yes, even the smallest decisions--because we know they lead to the bigger choices we make. It starts way before we would ever choose to steal. To lie. To murder. To turn our back on God.

I'm challenging myself to carefully attend to my choices today. To monitor each one carefully. To take a moment 'to chase my decisions to their end' before I make a move. To seek God's advice.

Because it's a balancing act.
