Week 2: The Beauty of Slow

John 12:12-15 AMPC

¹² The next day a vast crowd of those who had come to the Passover Feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

¹³ So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him. And as they went, they kept shouting, Hosanna! Blessed is He and praise to Him Who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!

¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young donkey, rode upon it, [just] as it is written in the Scriptures,

¹⁵ Do not fear, O Daughter of Zion! Look! Your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!

Psalm 46:10 AMPC
Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!

Psalm 46:10 MSG

“Step out of the traffic! Take a long,
    loving look at me, your High God,
    above politics, above everything.”

There is power in stillness.

Philippians 1:6 AMPC

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

Slow helps us honor the struggle so we don’t sabotage our significance!

Psalm 119:71 AMPC

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.

The Significance of Slow:

Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.
