WISDOM
“I follow the course of righteousness along the paths of justice, to endow with wealth those who love me and fill their treasuries. For he who finds me finds life and obtains the favor of Adonai. But he who misses me harms himself; all who hate me love death.” - Proverbs 8:20-21, 35-36 (Complete Jewish Bible)
If you feel like you can’t slow down, like if you pause everything is gonna fall apart… I need you to hear me:
God’s wisdom will multiply your time, energy, and resources but you have to slow down long enough to receive it.
You think you don’t have time to pause, but you don’t have time NOT to pause (Proverbs 19:2).
Because every time you rush, you bleed time in other ways: wrong decisions, wrong tools, wrong partnerships, wrong offers… and then you spend months cleaning up what one day of waiting could’ve prevented.
In this week’s video, I break down why scarcity is the root of hurry and share the #1 alignment system Christian founders need to help you move on pace with God.

IMPLEMENTATION
Here’s your tiny action step for the week…
The Give God Room™ Method
Pick one decision you feel pressure, panic or hurry about RIGHT NOW and do this simple 4-step reset:
PLAN: Write the plan, idea or decision down. What are you considering and why? What questions do you have? What timeline do you feel like it needs?
PRAY: Present it to God like the business partner He actually is. Ask for wisdom.
WAIT (with a deadline): Choose 1–7 days. Put it on your calendar.
MOVE: On the due date, review what you sensed and move forward with peace.
Remember that lack is a lie. Because the Lord is your Shepherd, there is more than enough provision in the Kingdom for you to do what God called you to do… without rushing. You already have enough time, money, advantage, opportunity, creativity, margin, etc—whatever it is you think you need is available to you if you just slow down long enough to receive it.
TRUST
Say this out loud to build your faith on the Jesus in you.
Lord Jesus, I receive Your pace. I release the pressure to hurry.
You said, “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.” I bring You my anxiety and take Your yoke upon me because Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:28–30). I trust that as I slow down to acknowledge You in all my ways, You will put me at the right place at the right time (Proverbs 3:5–6). And I believe Your wisdom is multiplying my time, energy, resources, and peace (Proverbs 8).
In Jesus’ name, amen.
HELP
Let’s help each other in the comments by sharing one of the following:
Wisdom: If you’ve ever rushed a decision and paid for it later, what did it cost you and what did you learn? Drop your wisdom so it can save somebody months (or thousands).
Prayer Request: If you’re in a season where you feel like you can’t slow down, what’s driving the hurry? Time? Money? Fear? Comparison? Pressure? Drop what you’re dealing with (as much as you feel safe sharing) and let us cover you in prayer and practical support.
