Go slow!

Dad: Hardly anything can be enjoyed in a hurry or accomplished in a hurry, and you'll not get very far if you're in a hurry. You've got to slow things down, and take time to listen to the Lord most of all. Anyone can run around a hundred miles an hour doing this and doing that, and never really get anywhere. But it takes mighty men and women of God to really stop, look, listen and go slow.

Just relax; slow down; don't rush; don't be hasty; squeeze—don't jerk;—and the Lord will slow everything else down for you if necessary! No use trying to kill yourself! —And you've got to learn to rest in the Lord!—And take it easier!

But you say, "I don't have time to stop and to look and to listen!" If you don't you may never make it! Better late than never! Which is easier: to try to beat the train, to try to plough through the train, jump over the train or just to stop, watch it go by, wait another couple of minutes and it'll be out of your way and you can go peacefully on your way! Trying to force the situation and push your way through just won't work!

I've found out that no matter what I do, the Lord's work will go on—life will go on—the camp will go on! If it's God's Work, nothing will stop it—not even my absence! Praise the Lord? So it doesn't pay to rush around and fret and fume and try to get someplace to do something when you're supposed to be waiting on the Lord to find out for sure just where He wants you to be and what He wants you to do!
