Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

A number of years ago, a Navy jet fighter plane shot itself down over the deserts of Nevada while testing a new cannon mounted on its wing. The plane was flying at supersonic speeds, but the cannon shells were subsonic. What happened was crucial. The fighter actually ran into the shells it had fired seconds before. The jet was traveling too fast.

Sometimes we travel too fast for our own spiritual good. God speaks and we are going too fast to hear Him. Don’t be guilty of traveling so fast with your life that you run past the sound of the Word of God. Be in the center of His will.

This world changes and the current of the change carries us ever more swiftly down the stream to destruction if we are not careful. We must slow down to listen to the voice of God as He desires us to communicate and fellowship with us. Job 37:14 reminds us to,

“Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still , and consider the wondrous works of God.”

God loved you so much He gave His only Son for you (John 3:16).
