We're only a few weeks into 2026, and the rush is REAL.

The noise. The fear-mongering. The hysteria on social media. The pressure to move fast, make decisions, and figure it all out NOW.

But here's what God is saying: "He who believes shall not make haste." (Isaiah 28:16)

The devil rushes, but God guides. And if we slow down, we'll actually get there FASTER.

In this video, I unpack:
✨ Why we're losing our capacity to wait well
✨ The wisdom, strength, and blessing that comes in the wait
✨ How to discern spirit-led action vs. fear-based action
✨ Why waiting on God is the safest place to be (even when it doesn't feel like it)

📖 SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:

• Isaiah 30:15 - "In return and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength"
  
  
• Isaiah 28:16 - "He who believes will not act hastily"
  
  
• Isaiah 40:31 - "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength"
  
  

If you're feeling the pressure to rush, move, decide, or act out of anxiety—this word is for you.

Slow down. You'll get there faster.

Listen in on this Livestream that I did last week as I unpack how unworthiness causes us to place ourselves in a dangerously vulnerable situation, one that causes us to seek from others what we REFUSE TO FIRST GIVE OURSELVES! If you are still seeking validation (from a man or anyone else) that you are lovable, worthy, and deserving you will always be forever proving and performing, struggling, and striving to be loved. It shows up in the over giving, overcommitting, overextending ourselves and other unconscious ways.
