All my Worst moments are when I am in a hurry; Hurry & Love are like oil and water they do not mix

Hurry Is the devil
The number one problem you will face is time. People are just too
busy to live emotionally healthy and spiritually rich and vibrant lives.”
The problem isn’t when you have a lot to do; it’s when you have
too much to do and the only way to keep the quota up is to hurry.
I cannot live in the Kingdom of God with a hurried Soul
Distraction to Spiritual Oblivion
I am Great Just busy
Part 2 the Solution
The Secret of the easy yoke
Mt 11:28
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
What we are talking about is a
rule of Life
DISCIplines are away to access power
Jesus does the practice and then says follow me
THE SOLUTION is not more time - rather to slow down and simplify our lives to really matters
Jesus had a Yoke and apprentices
Be with Jesus. 2. Become like Jesus. 3. Do what he would do if he were you. The whole point of apprenticeship is to model your life after Jesus
Rest is Weapon Richard Wurmbrand
