Speeding

A thoughtful man once said, "Sometimes I think that God is going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding."

Very profound words.

But it wasn't a pastor or a church leader who said that.

It was a comedian named Steven Wright.

And Wright was ... right.

We live in a high-tech, high-speed amped-up, supersonic, immediate-demand world ... and that includes churches and ministries.

We want everything done yesterday ... if not sooner.

But sometimes God makes you wait. Sometimes He makes you slow down. Sometimes He doesn't let you speed on down the road.

God told Noah to build an ark, and then it didn't rain for about 100 years.

God let Joseph spend about 13 years in prison before making him the second most powerful man in Egypt after Pharaoh.

God let Moses tend sheep for his father-in-law for 40 years in the desert before calling him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and toward the Promised Land.

Is God curbing your speeding?

Let Him.

In Psalm 31:15, David sings about how "my times are in your hands ...."

Sing the same song.
