Take Your Foot Off The Pedal

“A sudden inclination to act”—short; but a good definition of the word impulsive. Generally speaking, every time I have gotten into trouble, it’s been those times when I went by a sudden urge to say or do something then and there, on the spot. How I have regretted those times in my life.

In spite of the wise man’s warnings to “Be not hasty in thy spirit...” we are determined to always keep our lives in gear with our foot on the gas pedal. We absolutely refuse to sit idled for a short time. We show our lack of faith by our impulsiveness. The prophet tells us, “...he that believeth shall not make haste.” Jesus’ advice to us is to sit down  first and consider  before attempting anything of significance.

An impulsive saint invariably has an impatient spirit.
