TOPIC: Smooth Is Slow…
But Abraham still stood before the Lord.
Genesis 18:22
Recommended Reading: Luke 10:38-42
The Navy SEALs have a saying: “Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.” We need to remember that in our frantic world. It’s especially true with the habit of daily Bible reading. Mature believers have learned that it’s better to spend five unhurried minutes reading the Bible than to read for ten minutes feeling rushed. Similarly, another author said, “Hurry is the death of prayer.”
We may not always have as much time as we’d like when we sit down to fellowship with God although we should build the necessary time into our schedules. Some days are more hectic than others. But Psalm 46:10 doesn’t say, “Be rushed, and know that I am God.” It says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Even if your time is limited, take a deep breath, and enjoy the five, ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes you have when you open your Bible. Read it aloud. Take a moment to copy down some of the verses. Turn them into prayers. Find a way of taking the truth you’ve found into the day with you.
Better are a few moments of stillness than an hour feeling rushed. Find a few moments for stillness today.
Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
