Don’t let
the errors of evil people lead you down the wrong path and make you lose your
balance. 2Peter 3:17. (CEV)
Blessed are the balanced; they shall outlast everyone.
Give yourself a regular spiritual check-up.
The best way to balance the five purposes in your life
1. “Love God with all your heart”
2. “Love your neighbor as yourself”
3. “Go and make disciples”
4. “baptize them into…”
5. “teach them to do all things…”
is to evaluate yourself periodically.
At least five times in Scripture we are
told to test and examine our own spiritual health.
The Bible says, “Test yourselves to make sure you are
solid in the faith. Don’t drift along taking everything for granted. Give
yourselves regular checkups…Test it out. If you fail the test, do something
about it.”
To maintain your physical health, you need regular
check-ups with a doctor who can assess your vital signs-blood pressure,
temperature, weight, and so on.
For your spiritual health you need to regularly check
the five vital signs of worship, fellowship, growth in character, ministry and
mission.
Jeremiah advised, “Let’s take a good look at the way
we’re living and reorder our lives under God.”
Amen.
