No Rush, Just Right - July 22, 2009

Good Wednesday morning! Some mornings are peaceful and empty. No rush, no immediate demands, simply time to enjoy the company of our Lord Jesus. I wrote about the rush-rush of things in a story this morning and that seemed to remove it from my mind. I have heard of city folk coming out to the plains and having trouble with the pace of life. Whether that is true or another Hollywood stereotype, I do not know. What I do know is that what one might consider overwhelming, another considers to be just right. We do not all perceive the pace of events in the same way as another person does. When we give our lives to Christ, the Holy Spirit goes to work on everything in our lives. Our perceptions, feelings, thoughts, and deeds. Some may be left alone, others overturned, and many will go through a gradual growth process. No matter how life seems to us in the moment, the Holy Spirit's work is never rushed and never short-cut. When God created the earth He did not say "good enough", He saw that it was good. The same will be said of the Spirit's work in us at the end. None of us will be left in a "good enough" condition, God will see that His work is good.

Rest in our great hope today.
