Doesn’t that sound good? I think all of us could use a dose of that. I remember years ago when my brother was starting a new business and he was just overwhelmed with all of it. (We’ve probably all been there sometime). He stopped at an Arco to fill up with gas. (This was at a time he was living in Dana Point, California.) All the cars were driving fast at rush hour and he was late for his appointment in Beverly Hills. So, he just rushed in to fill up his car and buy a breakfast sandwich and coffee. He jumped in his car and took off to join the rush hour traffic. He immediately heard this loud flapping sound. People honked and flashed their headlights at him. He was really getting annoyed by all the uptight drivers. One person rolled down their window and told him to pull over. Now he was really angry. He got out of his car to talk to the rude driver. Then noticed what all the commotion was about. He had a gas nozzle still in his car with a hose trailing and flapping all around.

As he drove back to the Arco station, he was hoping and praying he would find it blown-up or burned to the ground. When he arrived, he was relieved to see it was okay. So, he took the nozzle and hose in hand and carried it inside to the lady at the cash register. As he handed her the remnants, sheepishly apologizing for driving off with her pumping equipment- guess what she said! “Don’t worry about it - it happens all the time.”

This weekend we will be looking at what God says about fearlessly eliminating hurry from each of our lives.
