Rush

Isaiah 33:6 "Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure."

It seems like far too many people in this world are always in a hurry. They seem in a constant rush to get somewhere.

-They rush to work.

-They rush home.

-They rush off to their vacations and then rush back.

-They rush through every part of their lives.

-No matter how much they rush, though, they never seem to get anywhere.

That is because they mistake rushing for living.

    

God gave us these lives to learn in, to grow in, and to love in. Don’t rush through them.

-There is no place that you need to be except where you are right now.

-You were meant to experience life, to cherish life, and to enjoy life: not to hurry through life.

-Your life is meant to be a journey of love and happiness not a race to some unseen finish line.

Take your time and rejoice in every second that you are given here. Then when you look back on the life you have lived you will see a million moments of love and not a blur of wasted years.

Colossians 4:5 "Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time."
