Driven or Lead?

Momentum is a wonderful thing when it is working for you and a terrible thing when it is working against you.  I fell not too long ago and broke my ribs.  I was moving fairly fast, approaching my car to leave for a funeral, when I fell off my shoe and plummeted to the ground.  Had I been a bit slower, I probably could have caught myself, but I was worried I would be late.  Driven by fear of being late, I overly taxed my ability to maneuver the road beneath my feet. Isn't it interesting how just a little speed in one area can slow us way down in another? It took weeks before I could move quickly and breathe freely. I kept having little catches in my side.  It hurt when I took a deep breath but those deep breaths were exactly what helped me heal so quickly.  Today, think about the areas in which you feel hurried. Ask yourself, "Do I need to keep this up? Is this momentum helping me or hindering me?"  We have all heard, “Haste makes waste.” Are you being driven or lead? Jesus doesn't drive, He leads.  When you feel driven... stop. Take a few deep breaths. 
 
Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. KJV
