Don’t Act Hastily

Today’s world spins and revolves around a new jargons like ‘instant’ ‘fast’' (fast food) ‘instant’(food, coffee, soup, (even all masala’s)-besides this we have the hi- tech (ie) e mails, e business, online shopping etc - SMS,MMS etc- swipes the world. 


Everything moves faster in a jiffy, (inclusive of all our activities, reactions and responses.) Subsequently rather naturally our temperament is tuned finely towards quick and hasty verdicts and judgments.

The globalised world toss the inmates upside down and makes them mad by driving them pillar to post through tension, stress, despair and anguish.


Some sort of mechanized rhythmic life (inside of us - all sorts of hastiness)
If you are forced to take a rash decision of some sort right now, I have a word for you today.

  • Whoever believes will not act hastily”. Isaiah 28:16.”
 In other words, when we trust God (the way it’s supposed to be) we will not make a move (not even an inch) without seeking His direction, wisdom, guidance and help.

Learn to take time to be calm for some time (to get still in our hearts and minds) and to seek the Lord through Bible reading and with a focused (constant) prayer. A trusting soul will always believe that God does the best, and ‘With God everything is possible’.

Sometimes we face a circumstances, that trouble us, forcing us to take matters into our own hands, instead of waiting on God. This strategy can actually make matters worse, and can create a new set of problems that will leave us with feelings of regret in the long run.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.“As the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”. Isaiah 55:8
We really do not know, what the Lord has planned for us. When it come to pass we will be fascinated the way God deal with our problems.

Read this promises which will sustain and encourage you:

Since ancient times no one has heard, 
   no ear has perceived, 
no eye has seen any God besides you, 
   who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.”
Isaiah 64:4


“Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, 
     And He shall strengthen your heart; 
   Wait, I say, on the LORD! Psalm 27:114


“Blessed are those who listen to me, 
   watching daily at my doors, 
   waiting at my doorway. 
 For those who find me find life 
   and receive favor from the LORD.Proverbs8:34-35


Jesus is the great Deliverer; therefore tire not, doubt not, but call upon him in the day of trouble, and he will deliver you, and you shall glorify him.
Remember, in every trouble, that "the eternal God is your refuge;" that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

“Be still, and know that I am God; ….”Psalm 46:10

God Bless
