"You will not leave in a hurry, running for your
lives. For the Lord will go ahead of you…[and]
protect you from behind." Isa 52:12 NLT
Have you heard of "hurry sickness"? Those who have
it zoom in and out of lanes in congested traffic; try to
be the first off the plane, even though they must wait
forever at baggage claim; honk at you if you don't take
off like a racehorse when the traffic light turns green;
tap their fingers against anything they can find when
they have to wait; punch the elevator button
repeatedly to attempt to move it faster. Thev remind
us of hummingbirds. These tiny birds can fly forward,
then hover in mid-air going nowhere. Their tiny wings
can move up to seventy-five times each second! The
trouble is, their average life span is only three years
compared to an eagle that lives thirty years. What's
the difference? The eagle has learned to conserve its
energy by riding the God-given wind currents. The
message here is simple: When you draw on the
indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, you last longer and
go higher than you ever dreamed. One pastor said he
was a "stress-distributing machine" when he was
younger, and everybody around him felt it. One day
one of his kids said to him, "Daddy, I'll try to hurry up
and tell you this." He replied, "It's okay, honey, you can
speak slowly." After a long pause, he had an "aha"
moment when his child said. "Then-listen-slowlv!"
Deciding to move at a slower pace will definitely
improve the quality of your life and your relationships.
