<p>Slowing down is often associated with complacency, laziness, insecurity, and failure. It can also be mistaken for backtracking, forfeiting, missing out, and regret. However, none of that is actually Biblical.</p><p>I’ve found so much more joy and peace in the opportunity to slow down than I ever knew possible, and it has changed my life. So we’re talking about it this season. </p><h3><strong>James 1:19-25 CSB</strong></h3><p><br></p><p>My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,<strong> </strong>for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.<strong> </strong>But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his own face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.<strong> </strong>But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who works—this person will be blessed in what he does.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER JOURNALING IN PRAYER</h3><ul><li>What would you get back if you were to slow down? </li><li>What might you be able to step into if you were to slow down? </li><li>Who might you grow closer to If you were to slow down?</li><li>What prayers might the Lord have room to answer or to show you how He is currently answering if you were to slow down?</li><li>How many old patterns might He continue to strip away that you know, that He knows that you know are not healthy if you were to slow down?</li><li>What might He revive? </li></ul><p><br></p><h3>WATCH THIS PODCAST ON YOUTUBE</h3><p>https://youtu.be/pUo4_TmGozU</p><p><br></p><h3>SELAH: A STUDY OF 1 AND 2 SAMUEL</h3><p>Purchase your copy of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Selah-Bible-Study-Guide-Video-Access/dp/108812478X/ref=asc_df_108812478X/?hvadid=658824654188&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9052636&hvnetw=g&hvpone=&hvpos=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvrand=654091269224801125&hvtargid=pla-2189665058598&linkCode=df0&mcid=03d0632acca53cf3aaf2b2dfac22cdca&psc=1&tag=hyprod-20" rel="nofollow">Selah: A Study of 1 and 2 Samuel</a></p><p><br></p><h3>OTHER LINKS</h3><p>https://livdooley.com/</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/candidliv/</p>

Like many, they were frustrated trying to balance their faith, family, and work. That’s when they discovered the priorities of God and purposed to live by them. That decision not only changed their marriage, but it changed their life! Although they were both diagnosed with a chronic illness, they learned to prioritize their health, without neglecting God’s priorities. Now they find great joy in inspiring others to do the same.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>RESOURCES</h3><p><a href="https://livingourpriorities.com/the-love-challenge-ecourse/" rel="nofollow">Join Andre and Timberly&#39;s Love Challenge E-Course</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/livingourpriorities/'" rel="nofollow">Connect with Andre and Timberly on IG</a></p><p><a href="https://livdooley.com/biblestudytips" rel="nofollow">Grab Liv&#39;s Resource to Shift Your Shallow Bible Study to a Sincere One </a></p><p><a href="http://instagram.com/candidliv" rel="nofollow">Connect with Me on IG</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Selah-Bible-Study-Guide-Video-Access/dp/108812478X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18CF9Y4MRCE0T&keywords=selah+bible+study&qid=1689016508&sprefix=selah+bible+st%2Caps%2C453&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Grab Your Copy of Selah here</a></p><p><br></p><h3>SELAH: A STUDY OF 1 AND 2 SAMUEL</h3><p>Purchase your copy of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Selah-Bible-Study-Guide-Video-Access/dp/108812478X/ref=asc_df_108812478X/?hvadid=658824654188&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9052636&hvnetw=g&hvpone=&hvpos=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvrand=654091269224801125&hvtargid=pla-2189665058598&linkCode=df0&mcid=03d0632acca53cf3aaf2b2dfac22cdca&psc=1&tag=hyprod-20" rel="nofollow">Selah: A Study of 1 and 2 Samuel</a></p>
