The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

John Mark Comer

The invention of the mechanical clock in 1370 and Thomas Edison’s light bulb in 1879 transformed how humans perceive and manage time, shifting us from natural rhythms to artificial schedules. While modern technologies like smartphones promise efficiency, they often consume our attention, leaving us overwhelmed and disconnected. This constant busyness affects everyone, taking a toll on physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Slowing down, as exemplified by Jesus’s calm and intentional lifestyle, can help us reconnect with what truly matters. By embracing rest, simplifying our possessions, and living mindfully, we can reclaim our time and find deeper fulfillment in life’s simple, meaningful moments.
