In Matthew 21, Jesus road a donkey and a colt to ride through Jerusalem. “See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” – Matthew 21:5. Jesus road a donkey, a creature not made for riding but made for battles and to carry loads. It is slow moving, reliable, safe and constant.
I see the donkey as how we should travel through life. Life is not a race but a journey that is to be enjoyed. It should not be rushed. Rushing will cause lessons to be missed. Growth will be overlooked and stretching will not occur. For progression in life, you must be consistent and persistent. You must allow time to pause and reflect. Taking the time to plan, evaluate, correct and adjust. It is the journey that is the success not the destination. Focus on the journey, not on arriving at a certain destination. – Chris Hadfield
Stop racing to get to the next step instead move slowly taking in the experience. Use the experience to propel you forward so that you can improve and grow. With growth you are expanding. You are stretching to new limits and soaring to new heights. Appreciate the journey and you will obtain fulfillment. It is the journey that is the reward thus enjoy the journey. Do not race but instead travel slowly so that you will experience life. Life is a beautiful gift that is to be enjoyed. Each day is new experiences that is full of possibilities and potential.
I always appreciate the timeliness of your messages. God is speaking to me through today. Thank you for blessing me with the assurance in God’s word, and the need to recognize to remain in the moment. I have missed so much accomplishing the end goal that I’m not enjoying the process.
Yes, taking time to pause is essential.
