Good Words for Today: December 30

Sometimes we are guilty of living too fast. We go before we’re ready, speak before we have anything to say, teach before we’re taught, and build high before we build deep. What happens when you hurry, hurry, hurry? You don’t watch where you’re going and you trip and fall. Often we trip not in headlong pursuit of evil but in our over-hasty pursuit of good. The answer lies not in buying a planner or getting organized, but in those ancient words of the Psalmist: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). When we slow down enough to get God involved, we discover that he can do more through us than we can ever accomplish on our own.
