We as people are told to go a million miles an hour, the more we do the better we are. But I got this in my spirit to stay on this slow and seeking God. Who likes to go slow in a car, no one I can think of, we all like to go fast. Everyone has heard the phrase slow down and stop and smell the roses once in a while. As I said yesterday, we all want to be on fire for God and have those on-fire moments but that doesn't mean we have to do it fast. if we go too fast, we can miss what God has for us all together.
Isaiah 30:18 (ESV) says, Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. To wait is to slow down like we are talking about. The Bible talks a lot about being slow to anger an example of this is in James 1:19 (ASV), Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. what if we too this kind of slow to everything we do slow to act, slow down and see what God is doing, to slow down and help others to see Jesus. This unlikely place is not what the world wants us to do they want us to go as fast as we can. but I say slow down and see what God has for you.
Dear God I thank you for the slow
God, I pray for everyone who reads this would slow down and see what you have for them
God I pray that the on-fire moments would be found in the slow
I pray for protection around the slow and that unlikely place to find God
In Jesus Name
Amen
Tomorrow we will talk about the unlikely place the church.
Have a do it, Lord, Kind of day!!!
