How Fast are You Going? — part 3

Becca Ehrlich, last time in this three-Sunday-series, helping us apply Psalm 46:10 —

God did not create us to run full-speed through life, never noticing God’s actions. We were made to listen for God and get on board with what God is doing. We are not able to do that if we are constantly running between things, never paying attention to God.

How is God inviting you to slow down and be still?

Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We would like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet, it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing though some stages of instability – and that it may take a very long time. Above all, trust in the slow work of God, our loving vine-dresser. — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
