Matthew 8:23–26
Some people talk about achieving “balance” in life. But “harmony” is a better metaphor than balance. I can never expect to live a balanced life, but I can expect to live a harmonious life, in which the ends are held in tension or harnessed, not leveled out ... We all face different situations, different variables. One person’s solution may not work for the next person. We can’t just “balance” life by deciding how much time or energy we must devote to certain parts of our lives. We must regularly ask ourselves the question, “How much is enough?” The first thing God sanctified was not a place or a person or a thing, but a time: Sabbath time. We need Sabbath time now more than ever. We have as a Pilot one who sleeps in the back of boats. When “nothing” is happening, something is happening ... When water is still, it becomes clear. So, too, the mind and soul.
