BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH: BIBLE 18 BALANCE: Ecclesiastes 3:1 ‘There is a time for everything,’
 
We are encouraged to live a balanced life in terms of what we do or take up. Failure to find a right balance or say no when its beyond our means or ability, only leads to burnout and dissapointment which could easily be loss of relationships with family, friends, partners, loss of hard earned property, assets or deterioration of health such as stress or total collapse and death. We have to slow down, find the right balance, step away from whatever is bringing that turmoil in our lives and put in more effort and dedication towards those areas of our lives we may have been neglecting, case in point, family, friends, spouses, relationships and everything we do in life.  Through submission and surrender, shift from self focused goals or empty pursuit of goals that deny us rest and access to God. We should endeavour to always break the heaviness, stress and exhaustion in our lives, be refreshed as we seek the kingdom of God first and steer away from selfish or self focused life. Here are some powerful verses to guide people on living a balanced life.
 
Try it and you won’t be dissapointed. Remember there is a time for everything in life. Jesus already died for us all so that we may all have life, so, do what is within your time, ability, means and limits in faith to God then always make a choice to step away from any potential burnout, don’t compromise your life by holding higher value for the less important aspects. Yes you may be a great and successful and wealthy career, business and other in your community and professional life, but absolutely empty because nothing can fulfil that emptiness you allow into your life. Remeber there is atime for everything in life , God bless you all! Remember :2 Timothy 3:16-17 ’16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work’.
