Philippians 4:8-9
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or
received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Mark 6:30-32
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
Reflection
Today’s scripture describes that to live heart first means living with sustainable excellence. Describe what you think it means to live a passionately balanced life. What safeguards might you need to build into your life to go the distance when serving the Lord?
