I talk to so many who claim that they have to hurry to get everything done. I contend that if we can’t stop during our day to love people... take care of ourselves... and most importantly, talk to and praise God... than we’re too busy. Hurry sickness is real... and it’s not Biblical. So many claim to follow Christ. If Christ is their leader... than why do they spend their waking hours trying to outrun Him? To outdo Him? To handle things they aren’t supposed to in an attempt to win more favor from Him... so that He’ll bless them with even more opportunity... so they can add more to an already overbooked schedule. You can’t earn favor. He gives that away freely because He loves you unconditionally. If you are following Christ. Follow Him. He’s not running. While He was on the earth, Jesus Christ was never in a hurry. He walked slowly enough to feel an old woman tug at his robe... stopped long enough to visit with Mary and Martha... and allowed little children to run up to Him so He could give them a hug. Christ-followers stay behind their leader. They let Him set the pace.
