on the accelerator, or utter the curse, or strike the blow. Which is better? Why not step on the brake, shut the lips, withhold the hand?
But somebody has said, "He who hesitates is lost." And somebody else avers that "opportunity knocks but once." Lies, both of them. He who hesitates, in the sense of waiting for God, is wise. Opportunity knocks continually, forever. He who hesitates to wait for God is lost. Opportunity to hear the Voice is opportunity. Hurry is delay--always serious, sometimes terrible. To wait is to appeal to speed--to the speediest thing we know--creative thought--God.
Just think how God waits--for you and for me.
