There are many types of gravel tracks
or roads. Some so treacherous you can only drive on them with a 4x4,
while others seem seemingly flat and easy to drive on. It is however
these seemingly easy roads that can have the most dangerous problem.
They may well have ditches and donga's running along side them.
Loose control of the steering wheel and you can easily slide into a
ditch on either side.
Learning spiritual balance is much like
this. For instance if you spend too much time focused on reading
the word of God and don't allow His Spirit to move in your life, you
could well end up spiritually dry and legalistic.
If you focus too much on the Spirit,
going from one Spirit ministry service to the next looking for a
fresh touch from God and never spend time in the word, you could well
end up being unable to work on the more practical aspects of your
faith.
The key is to stay somewhere in the
middle of the track. Ensure you keep your speed under control and
keep a tight grip on the steering wheel. Ensure you have enough time
for the word and ensure that you take the opportunities to attend
services or spend time with friends where you can be ministered too
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
