"Do you rush through life?"

A friend who listens to life with us through www.listentolife.org wrote me about an experience he had recently. It seems that someone was burning leaves and the fire jumped and went over to another area. Eventually it was contained. He wondered why someone would be burning under the conditions at that time.

And then he thought about that for a second, and listened to his life. “Many times in life we start something,” he wrote, “be it a task or new project or even just a sentence. It’s not the right time for it. God tries to get us to stop, or slow down and re-think our plans. God even sends us signs like the conditions at that time or a thought or feeling. Still we charge ahead, ignore the warnings, and bring dire consequences on ourselves and others.”

We do, don’t we? Or maybe, I should say, I do. What about you?

God really does more about what’s best for us than we do, but we have to consult with God, ask God what to do, to take full advantage of God’s wisdom.

So today, before you rush off to do what you think is best, stop for a moment and just ask, “God, what do you want me to do?” Then listen to your life.
