When Going Fast Is Not The Best Way

I pride myself on being able to finish tasks quickly. But sometimes I inadvertently sacrifice quality for the sake of speed. In those instances I am disappointed in the product I have produced and in myself.

II Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” When it feels like things are not going well and God is not listening to you, remember His patience toward you. He patiently waits for us to come to Him, granting mercy when we don’t deserve it. He is faithful to fulfill every promise He has ever made. Wait upon Him and He will deliver grace upon grace.

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
