"Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble. Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil. Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on." (Proverbs 4:10-15 ESV)
When God's wisdom is our guide, we are promised that we will be upheld. As we stay in the path of the righteous, and away from the path of the wicked, our footing will be sure regardless of our speed.
For many, we creep along at such a slow pace, fearful that we will loose our balance if we are not oh so very careful. True to His Word, He upholds us and keeps us from falling. But how long did it take us to get to our destination? How much time was wasted in the process? In this season, God is looking for people who will run toward the prize of the high calling, not meandor at a leisurely pace as if lives were not hanging in the balance. If we're going to get there regardless of speed, let's go fast!
