“Get up but not so fast.”

E,

There is nothing no real hurry to the truth. I know we are constantly being told by charlatans and preachers about impending kingdoms and divine timelines. If the goal is eternal, then the steps cannot be impacted by temporal time. We are not on a human clock. There is always something much more infinite going on. There is no timeframe for the healing of the fractured human soul. God will get to it in time. Or, better said, in timelessness.

 

You can get up not so fast. You can spend all the time you need inside your own soul. The world may push and press, but it has no alarm for your real life. Modernity and the wheels of ever-present fortune press on us with the idea that we need to spin value as fast as we possibly can. The true state of our universe tells us something different. The press of present life might give the illusion that we must always run at full speed, or we will not make any impact on the things we believe in, but this is not true at all. In fact, speed and anxiety add nothing to the things that really matter. We must learn to slow the pulse down to the rhythm of God. We must learn to wait for the hand to pick us up from that storied ground we lie on. We will get up, for sure, but not so fast.
