Desire for haste bespeaks an emotional nature. Emotion is usually hasty. It is extremely hard for the hasty Christian to wait on the Lord, to know His will and knowing it, to walk a step at a time in that will. Indeed we who are His own are incapable of following the Spirit until our emotions are truly yielded to the cross. We need first to learn there the "patience of Jesus Christ," for let us remember that out of a hundred impatient actions, scarcely one is in the will of God.
Because He knows the impetuosity of our nature, God frequently uses our fellow workers, brethren, family, or environment to put the brake on us. For God never performs anything hurriedly; consequently, He will rarely entrust His power to the impatient
「你們得救在乎歸回安息；你們得力在乎平靜安穩」賽30：15
衝動、急躁乃是人的天性。人的情緒常常是急率的。性急的基督徒很難等候神，明白祂的旨意；或在明白之後，很難遵照神的旨意，一步步按部就班地行。的確，屬神的人，除非先讓其情緒接受十字架的對付，否則不可能順從聖靈行事。我們必須先在十字架上學習「耶穌基督的忍耐」。讓我們切記，在一百樁缺乏耐心的草率行動裏，很少有一樁是合乎神旨意的。
因為神知道我們性情的衝動，所以祂屢次用我們的同工、弟兄、家人及環境來作我們的煞車工具。神行事從不匆忙，因此祂很少將祂的能力託付給急躁的人。
