They Don't Slow Down

The Problem with People

By Joe Denbow, February 25, 2024

You can’t save time. You can only spend time.

Our moments matter, but if we fill every moment, our moments lose meaning.


WHEN I AM HURRIED….

1. I FEEL MORE .

Luke 12:25 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?


2. I LOSE MY .

Job 9:25 My life passes more swiftly than a runner. It flees away without a glimpse of happiness.


3. I AM LESS .

Proverbs 21:5 Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.


You cannot keep charging without recharging.

Proverbs 19:2 Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes.


4. I CAN’T GOD.

John 6:63 The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God.

S . L . O . W .

1. THE PUSH FOR MORE.

Ecclesiastes 4:6 (GNT) It is better to have only a little with peace of mind than be busy all the time.

Proverbs 14:30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.


2. TO SAY, “ .”

Proverbs 20:25 (MSG) A impulsive vow is a trap. Later you wish you could get out of it.


3. THE COMMANDMENT.

Exodus 20:9-10 You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the LORD your God.

Psalm 127:2 (MSG) It is useless to rise up early and go to bed late and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don’t you know that God enjoys giving rest to those He loves?


4. FOR GOD’S TIMING.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.

Habakkuk 2:3 This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

Psalm 51:10 (MSG) God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.
