No reason to hurry

When your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character . . .
–James 1:4 (TLB)

This is a high-strung, neurotic, impatient age. We hurry when there is no reason to hurry—just to be hurrying. This fast-paced age has produced more problems and less morality than previous generations, and it has given all of us jangled nerves. Impatience has produced a new crop of broken homes, or more new ulcers, and has set the stage for more world wars.

Why do we have such urgency for the things of this world, but when it comes to reaching out to the lost, we move in slow motion, if we move at all?!

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
May my heart be still amid all the turmoil, as I remember Your patience with me, Lord Jesus.
