Reflections on the Rush of Life.

As I drove home from work this morning, I noticed a small car tailing me, speeding with urgency. Assuming the driver was in a critical situation, I imagined various scenarios: late for work, rushing to rest, or perhaps needing to use the restroom. However, upon reaching the red light and glancing back, I discovered a young man enthusiastically dancing to his radio, with no apparent emergency. This encounter sparked introspection on our society's perpetual hurry.

We often hear the phrase "life is too short," encouraging us to live life to the fullest. Paradoxically, our daily habits and relentless pursuit of success create the illusion that life is fleeting. Every second ticks longer than a heartbeat; we merely need to pause and breathe. In our self-centered world, we prioritize speed over serenity, neglecting the tranquility found in trusting God.

What would our lives resemble if we trusted God as implicitly as we trust our own breath? This introspective question resonates deeply. Psalm 46:10 advises, "Be still and know that I am God." Embracing this mindset allows us to acknowledge time's value lies in God's hands, with Jesus offering strength and comfort.

In a world where haste dominates, we must intentionally slow our pace. By doing so, we discover life's essence in Him. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." As we breathe in God's love, our existence transforms.

Life's brevity is a self-inflicted illusion. By surrendering to God's sovereignty and embracing Jesus' presence, we find serenity amidst chaos. Let us pause, breathe and rediscover life's beauty.
