FOT 2017: What’s the Hurry?

The Bible warns us not to act hastily, but rather to believe. What is meant by that statement? Doesn’t this contradict other passages encouraging us to hasten to follow God? Actually, there is no contradiction, but it is a strong encouragement for all of us to consider our steps carefully; to think, act and react in a Christian way; to conquer sin by overcoming Satan, the world and our human nature; and to believe in and rely fully on our only Savior, Jesus Christ who is God’s tried and precious chief cornerstone of our foundation; while being the world’s rejected stumbling block and rock of offense.
