Slow it Down

In our high-paced, fast-food society we've forgotten the virtue of patience. Once upon a time, people grew up having to wait. Now we go everywhere 55, 60, 70 miles an hour; microwaves take minutes instead of hours; everyone has a drive-thru. We don't have to wait for crops to come up, an oven with uneven temps to cook our food, or our feet to carry us everywhere we go.
Sometimes that attitude can carry over into our spiritual lives. The Bible repeatedly tells us to wait on the Lord. His timing and ours don't always coincide. Today more than ever we have to force oursleves to be patient and wait for His perfect timing. Learn to be still...and wait.
