Slow Down

Hey guys, I read this on the Facebook group, "Acts of Faith." Since I'm always in a hurry, this spoke to me. Hope it does the same for you

Slow Down

Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] -John 14:27

Hurrying effects our spiritual life. Jesus wasn't in a hurry. We can't even picture Him jumping up and saying to His disciples, "Come on, boys, get up. Up, up , up, up! Get this camp meeting cleaned up. Come on, we have to get to the next town. We have some preaching to do. Get the camels packed up, boys. Let's go, let's go!"
When we think about Jesus, we picture peace. He went slow enough to hear from God all day long. We should set our pace with His today.
