I do believe that there are times in your life where there are seasons that you have to place much more emphasis and maybe even your entire emphasis on a certain area of your life that is a CRISIS. I think about someone who is suicidal or constantly depressed. This isnt a time to try to advance financial or make any big goals that require more out of you personally than you can handle. This is a time to put major focus on something that could turn deadly and that is stealing the joy from your life.This is a time of major prayer, seeking God concerning HOW to break free, and seeking what you have available for you in the natural realm.
I am not talking about the crisis scenarios per se.
But I am talking about the times when things have leveled out and we have the opportunity to incorporate balance into our lives.
I think about the wonderful people that I have known who were such prayer warriors but their house is always an absolute wreck, they havent learned how to smell the roses, and they are living a very imbalanced life.
That is not the life that God wants us to live.
He wants us to be well rounded and he will lead us into a well rounded life as we follow him. He will allow us to get through situation after situation and mold and develop us to have fruit in all of the needed areas in our lives.
So pray but at some point a balanced check book, a clean room, some flowers, and a talk with a friend, and education are great also.
And if you have everything in the natural realm sorted out but you are not praying every day and reading your bible, get some balance!
The natural realm and the spiritual realm were meant to work together in a beautiful dance.
