The Speed of God…

Ever wonder why Jesus only lived about 33 years on the earth as a human being…?
I’ve thought about it many times…
God spoke and the world manifested into substance…no longer void and without form
God said, let there be light…and there was light…
God said, let the waters come and be separate from the land and it was so…
Why is it so difficult for mankind to believe? I think about that too…
I’ve heard about the speed of light…and breaking the sound barrier…but today I read about the speed of God…can you imagine the speed, of, God…?
Not even a blink is that fast or a heartbeat…no technology…no craft by land, sea or air is that fast…
And yet God, slows down, to show us His great love…
If you’re blessed enough to know Him and His love…you will get this…
The speed of God…is so fast he stands still…and waits for us to catch up…
WOW…imagine that…
God loves us so much!!!
When you’re a mommy or a daddy and you let your child chase you…you could easily run far away from them…but you stop so they can catch you…because they are your children and you love them…that’s exactly what God does…he stops for us so we can catch Him…
Run…chase after Him with all your heart, body, mind and soul…the speed of God is so fast…He stands still so you can catch Him…

Psalm 63:8 The Passion Translation (TPT) With passion I pursue and cling to you. Because I feel your grip on my life, I keep my soul close to your heart.

I Corinthians 9:24-27 The Passion Translation (TPT) Paul’s Disciplined Lifestyle
Isn’t it obvious that all runners on the racetrack[a] keep on running to win, but only one receives the victor’s prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorious. A true athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last forever. For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise[b] or box like one throwing aimless punches, but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body[c] and get it under my control, so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified.

Footnotes:
a. 1 Corinthians 9:24 Or “the runners in a stadium.” This refers to the Pan-Hellenic stadium near Corinth where the Isthmian games were held.
b. 1 Corinthians 9:26 Or “I don’t run aimlessly.” That is, Paul ran with his eyes on the goal of ending well.
c. 1 Corinthians 9:27 Or “I beat my body black and blue.” This is an obvious metaphor of placing the desires of one’s body as second place to the desires of the Holy Spirit. See Rom. 8:13.
