In Psalm 23, David writes, "He leads me beside quiet waters..." One doesn't get the idea that Jesus was ever in a hurry. In our hectic world, we sometimes forget that doing more isn't always what God wants from us. We are not going to gain entry into His Kingdom because "we did a lot of stuff" for Him. No, rather he wants our hearts to be in the right place. I would suggest that when the pace of life becomes too fast, find your own quiet place to spend time with Jesus. It will be time well worth spending.Have a blessed week!

Great comment Don, I agree.
We will never find peace when we are trying to please God with our busy work. And, it often takes a time away to realize that. Even Jesus himself, needed time alone with his Father. (Mark 1:35)
Another thought.... When we do have our hearts (and priorities) right with God, we find "true" peace not only in the absence of a busy life, but perhaps in the midst of it. I like the story of Jesus on the boat in the middle of a storm. Where was he found? Asleep down below! (Mark 8:24)
Now, that's true peace!!
