“Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day.  You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.”

 

I read this in John Ortberg’s book Soul Keeping.  Willard is speaking to the topic I wrote about a few weeks ago, “Speed and Pace.”  We want to find wisdom, money, insight, power or fame and we want to find it now.  My students are often guilty of this….”can’t I just do a few things for you, quickly, and then have you give me course credit.”  Willard is nailing the point that a slower pace is for our best.
