We're only a few weeks into 2026, and the rush is REAL.
The noise. The fear-mongering. The hysteria on social media. The pressure to move fast, make decisions, and figure it all out NOW.
But here's what God is saying: "He who believes shall not make haste." (Isaiah 28:16)
The devil rushes, but God guides. And if we slow down, we'll actually get there FASTER.
In this video, I unpack:
✨ Why we're losing our capacity to wait well
✨ The wisdom, strength, and blessing that comes in the wait
✨ How to discern spirit-led action vs. fear-based action
✨ Why waiting on God is the safest place to be (even when it doesn't feel like it)
📖 SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:
If you're feeling the pressure to rush, move, decide, or act out of anxiety—this word is for you.
Slow down. You'll get there faster.
