Spiritual Elements: a balanced spiritual life by ric gustafson
Before we look at different elements of the spiritual life, we need to look at the big picture of a healthy spiritual life. Seawater contains a balance of around 100 elements, things that life on earth are made of. These elements include oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, magnesium, iron and others. Mixing these elements together correctly and physical life happens on earth.
The Periodic Table was a chart published by a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev. In 1863, only 56 chemical elements had been identified. By 2012, that number had grown to 118. These elements are numbered according to their atomic weight.
Every element was planned and created by our Creator God. Every element is needed for human, animal and plant life on this earth. God ordained that chemical elements be the key to life on this planet. A healthy spiritual life is also a balance of many elements as well. Keeping all the elements of a spiritual life in check and balanced should be the goal of each believer in God.
