We’re always on the go in some way, shape, or form
What is often lacking in our lives is rest and a holy unhurried pace of life
40 Days in the Wilderness
Luke 4:1-2
Luke 4:1-2
“I like to describe spiritual leadership as living a grace-paced life in the midst of a driven culture; living at a vital, life-giving, peaceful peace while remaining engaged and active in the kingdom work Jesus began here on this earth. I live not at the mercy of the culture’s pace, but blessed by the mercy of my unhurried Savior.”
-Alan Fadling

Are you unable to slow down and rest for a season or has a frantic and hurried pace of life become the norm?
An unhurried life isn’t a lazy life
The cost of living a hurried life is missing out on the real work that God has for us
When our pace is slower, we’re not as rushed, frantic, or overwhelmed, which allows us to see and respond to the opportunities God puts in front of us
The cost of living a hurried life is burnout.
“‘Making things happen’ isn’t as helpful as learning to respond with courage to whatever God is doing. He makes things happen, and we would be wise to choose to work with him. My hurry is what often makes the yoke of life and ministry heavier than Jesus meant it to be.”

Rest is a habit that must be cultivated.
It won’t happen by accident; it requires intentionality and discipline.
