RUN DON’T WALK OR WALK DON’T RUN?
Doug Fields
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
- Read these stories that show the pace of Jesus’ life
- Jesus stopped TO LOVE
Read Mark 5:21-42 - Jesus took HIS TIME
Read John 11:1-43 - Jesus called OTHERS TO SLOW DOWN
Read Luke 10:38-42 - Yellow Light: SLOW DOWN to evaluate what’s beneath your “yes.”
Ask yourself why you just said yes to something. - Red light: STOP saying “yes” and develop a “no” muscle.
Ask yourself what you need to say no to. - Green light: GO on a relaxed walk with Jesus.
Bring a recognition of Jesus’ presence with you into everything you do today.
