Finally!! I do not
feel like my toes are being stepped on. I do like to be punctual but I manage
my time to the point to where being in a hurry is
never an issue. (Well sometimes with the kids being slow) So, hurrying is not an issue in reference to appointments and
meetings. I am also very tuned into my
personality were this is concerned so I
do not over load my schedule where I am constantly in a panicked,uptight,hurried state
to get some where on time.
I can not imagine what that feels like to constantly be hurrying that must be extremely
stressful and exhausting.
Joyce makes a good
point how God is not in a hurry! He is
never late but certainly not in a hurry!
She references
nature taking its time to accomplish the
tasks that God has given it. Even nature
does not hurry! I myself enjoy sitting outside in the solitude of nature.
My Spirit does not even enjoy being around someone that is constantly rushing about, I can feel myself getting anxious.
I think we do better
when we take our time and do not make snap decisions. I have been fighting panic for about a week
now with my husband's circumstances. I
have been fighting thoughts of hurry up and do something ! Even though I know
he has been doing all that he can! It is God hand's.
What if I went the
through with the thought of selling my
stuff so people on the street do not get
it. That decision does not need not be made at least not at this point! Lord
willing it will not be needed! If I listened to that voice in my head in
the panic, hurried and fearful state were would I find myself.
I would have put myself in a more needful place with out necessity!
Because I was in a hurry and did not patiently wait on God to work on my
behalf.
This is the
scripture that has been playing in my head: The double minded man is unstable in all
his ways, let not that man think he will receive anything from me!
Scripture
Focus:
James 1:7-8
King James
Version (KJV)
7 For let not
that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double
minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Do you think an unstable man (woman) is one who is always hurrying about? Food for thought?

Joyce Meyers-
"Good habits
drive out bad ones; therefore, focus on staying peaceful and patient and hurry
will eventually be a thing of the past."
Prayer:
Lord let us rest in your Holy Spirit, Lord we want to Trust in everything especially with your timing. When we hurry about in our lives we are not at rest. Let us trust that if we say no to something or if we lay something down and clear out our schedules, that we will be okay for doing it. If we need to adjust our alarms so we get up earlier to have more time therefore calming our day then give us the self-discipline to do it! Most of all left us quit our spirit while we wait on you to have your perfect will in our lives and let us not hurry you! For when we do we miss out on your best for our lives!
In Jesus Name Amen!
