Be Where You Are

Dallas Willard famously said that “hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day.” We are so accustomed to walking through our lives hurrying towards a goal, staring at our feet, lost in thought, that we often forget to be present where we are.

Every week, the Sabbath is like that person at the front of the line shouting: “Everybody stop and look up! There’s something beautiful here you’re missing in your rush to get to the top! Slow down and appreciate the beauty enveloping you along the way.”
