If you’re under the gun and feeling heaviness in your time and schedule, why not relieve the pressure with margin? “Margins,” according to my friend Chris Hodges, is “the space between ourselves and our limits” end quote. If you live your life with narrow margins, you’ll have fewer options.

Proverbs 21:20 says “in the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.” That’s the description of a man with margin and another man with no margin. Make sure that there’s a place between you and your limits.
