The Rhythm Of Rush Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Rush is defined as to enter with undue eagerness, or without due deliberation and preparation; to drive forward with eagerness and haste; Jesus never rushed. He set His life to the rhythm of connection and compassion. With great intentionality Jesus stayed unrushed. He knew pressure. He knew stress. People pulled at Him everywhere He went. Crowds demanded sermons. Individuals begged for healing. The disciples wanted leadership. Friends wanted time with Him. The religious rulers wanted answers. There was an entire world to save with such limited time. Yet, He didnt rush. He talked with the woman at the well. He reached out His hand, making contact, and healed the leper. He felt the touch of the woman with the issue of blood and stopped for her. Do you see it? Connection and compassion were central to every interaction. I come by this blessed morning to remind you that we must be like Jesus, UNRUSHED. So we can be incredibly intentional and laser focused on connection and compassion, like Jesus. The Rhythm of Rush causes us to miss what Jesus has for us. We often time have so much pulling at us. We found ourself rushing our spouse in conversation. Rushing our kids out the door. Rushing to the next thing and then the next. Rushing to make dinner and then rushing our family through dinner. Then we feel that stabbing feeling of stress in our heart, demanding us to slow down. But how? Weve made our decisions and now our decisions have made us. Sometimes it takes stepping out of the rush to see things. We must let this truth from Jesuss life come to us. Its not the location that changed us. It was the revelation. Jesus didnt rush, so neither should we. LORD UNRUSH US.... Be blessed and I love you!!! JE
