Your checkbook should balance. You ought to balance things out like your family budget or how much healthy food you eat vs. how much junk food you consume or how much you work and study and play and rest. A lot of things in life that are enjoyable can become become very unhealthy and even deadly if you overdo it. On the one hand a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. But on the other hand, if you eat too much sugar, you can get fat, develop diabetes, go blind, lose toes and limbs, and eventually die.
Some things shouldn’t have any place in your life, because they do nothing but harm. You wouldn’t add rat poison to your menu because it would kill you. Another thing that doesn’t do anybody any good is sin. Sin hurts others, it hurts God, and it will spiritually kill you. So when you’re trying to find a good balance in your daily life, it’s best to leave sin completely out. It will not only throw off your balance, it will get you a one way ticket to Hell. And that will totally mess up your day.
