Hurry Not
April 19, 2018
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
Isaiah 26:3
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry. When two friends repeated that adage by the wise Dallas Willard to me, I knew I needed to consider it. Where was I spinning my wheels, wasting time and energy? More important, where was I rushing ahead and not looking to God for guidance and help? In the weeks and months that followed, I remembered those words and reoriented myself back to the Lord and His wisdom. I reminded myself to trust in Him, rather than leaning on my own ways.
After all, rushing around frantically seems to be the opposite of the perfect peace the prophet Isaiah speaks of. The Lord gives this gift to those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in Him (v. 3). And He is worthy of being trusted today, tomorrow, and forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal (v. 4). Trusting God with our minds fixed on Him is the antidote to a hurried life.
How about us? Do we sense that were hurried or even hasty? Maybe, in contrast, we often experience a sense of peace. Or perhaps were somewhere in between the two extremes.
Wherever we may be, I pray today that well be able to put aside any hurry as we trust the Lord, who will never fail us and who gives us His peace.
Lord God, You give the peace that passes all understanding, which is a gift I dont want to take for granted. Thank You.
Gods peace helps us not to hurry.
The word peace in Isaiah 26:3 is one of the prophet Isaiahs favorite words; its used over twenty times in Isaiah. The word appears for the first time in Isaiah 9:6 where we find several titles for the promised Messiah, including Prince of Peace. Peace is a translation of the great Hebrew word shalom. While peace is certainly an acceptable rendering, more broadly shalom speaks of welfare, prosperity, wholenessthe comprehensive well-being of a person, people, or place. What isnt immediately apparent in modern versions of verse 3 is that the word translated perfect is also the Hebrew word shalom. Thus a literal rendering of perfect peace is shalom, shalom or peace, peace. Whats in view is multiplied peace, true peace, exponential peace. Verse 3 helps us to see that peace awaits those who trust in the Lord as their eternal source of strengththeir Rock (v. 4). Such peace allows one to exhale, to rest, to slow down.

I spent a couple months of my 5 and a half month in Germany at Grafenwoehr in the fall of 69. I am not sure what unit I was in it was almost 50 years ago. I went home after that. I did not leave the ground like those flying machines as I was an engineer.

Howdy, Kathy.
It’s Hump Day. Hope you got through it relatively unscathed.
Are you taking the next two days off to spend with your sister before she heads home?

I was in the Field Artillery at Graf back in the ‘70’s. Those dusty in the summer and cold and muddy in the winter tank trails are memorable.

Good evening, radu...hope you are finally getting some warmer weather.
Very overcast here, but they say no rain. Rain would be nice as the street sweepers are out and there is dust and dirt EVERYWHERE! Gravel is getting picked up as well.

Howdy, LUV.
Still fairly warm today but cloudy and very windy. A cold front is moving through now and will give a shower or two, then cool us off AGAIN. *sigh* Could have frost tomorrow night. :-(
Wish some of these fronts would give y’all some rain. It’s hard to believe how long it’s been since you last had a good dose.
