Rushing is a part of life. We might want an-always-relaxed life. But we will miss that bus; get on the wrong train; forget that anniversary; fail to attend a scheduled medical procedure.

That is just life! None of us are good enough to never face the stress of life!

But if everyday is filled with rushing around, then there is something really wrong in our approach to living.

The Royal Air Force Vulcan bomber had 4 jet engines that it shared with the Concorde with one important difference – the Vulcan didn’t have the ability to ‘go to afterburner’. But, instead, the pilot could choose to go beyond 100% of their capacity.

It was only for a limited time, but it gave an extra boost as needed.

I think the rush of life is us working at beyond 100% capacity. Yes, we can do it. But we should be going out of our way to do so, even less if we’re doing that to serve God as God never rushes.

So, give life all you’ve got, but keep a handle on how often you rush.

Just a thought…
