Topic:
Balance

Bible:
2 Corinthians 5:17

Discussion starter:
The earth rotates at 1,040 miles per hour. If you feel like life is going by pretty fast you are right! Your body is literally moving faster than the speed every second of every day.

Some people may feel like their life is spinning just a little bit faster than everyone else. Maybe you struggle to manage all the stuff in your life? And maybe your life has begun to feel out of balance? This happens when one activity or hobby begins to define your whole life. Consequently, when that one thing doesn’t go well you feel out of whack

Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” In other words, Paul says that we won’t ever find balance and happiness in that old stuff. In Christ we are made brand new. When we are out of balance it’s because we haven’t put Christ at the center of our lives.

3 Questions:

1. Have you ever tried to balance something like you saw in the video? (Go ahead, give it a try!)
2. Would you rather have great balance or great speed?
3. What’s one are of your life that is completely out of balance right now?

Chew on this:
Some of the most productive, brilliant inventors were people who lived horribly out of balance. Why do you think that was so?
