Most of us want to get somewhere as fast as we could. But too swift is as untimely as too slow. The situation that seems urgent seldom is, and haste sometimes slow down dreams and open doors for failure.
It’s more important to know where we’re going, then to see how fast we can get there. One of the most frequent causes for failure is impatience in waiting for results. Whoever is in a hurry shows that the thing he is doing is too big for him. The greatest assassin of dreams is haste, the desire to claim victory prematurely.
Life is lived in seasons, which means we are to do different things at different times. Be discerning, walk with God and purpose to do the right thing at the right time. A Chinese proverb says ‘Never leave your field in spring or your house in winter’. God never sends a winter without following it with the joy of spring, the growth of summer and harvest of fall.
Cultivate the discipline to embrace life; do not lose yourselves and get disillusioned with the pace and the evaluation standards of the society. A life fully lives in its purpose and seasons glorify the Lord.
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven…He has made everything beautiful in its time” (Eccl.3:1, 11)
