Hazards Of A Hurried Spirit

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.Proverbs 3:5-6

Have you ever just not been able to wait for something and take action and it backfires big time? This usually occurs when you are focusing more on the world than on God. 

Think about the disastrous consequences of not waiting in scripture. Sarah and Abraham comes to mind when God told them they would have a son at their old age and impatience got them in a real pickle so to speak. The story is found in Genesis Chapter 12. 

When you get in too much of a hurry you can create problems and ruin things. Waiting is a spiritual discipline crucial to following the leading of the Lord. Psalm 27:14 says “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”  Give God your hurried spirit and start on the journey learning to be still and not rush into things. 

PRAYER: Lord I give you my life and any issues I have with messing things up because of getting in too big a hurry. Help me to slow down and think things through. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
