Balance


Its very hard to strike just the right balance in our *walks*.
Very hard outside of deep relationship with Jesus Christ that is.

If we are too far one way we can easily become legalist.Trying to earn salvation through *holiness standards*. On the other hand a small shift in the other direction leads us into careless irreverence.

What about during those dry times when we dont feel any particular direction from Him at all. How should we walk then?
During those times we tend to float....doing what we know to do without divine unction. Is that legalism? Obedience?One foot in front of the other. Is that faith or failure?
Its hard to be balanced and religious. I think the answer is relationship. Religion can be either condemning or liberating. Or in most cases...both.
