Which ever way you land, I believe the point should be that whatever we do, we should do it unto God with our best effort.
Should we take more time? Should we be moving faster?
One wise man said, "the slower the car is moving, the less damage is caused in a collision".

Time
Which brings more value, taking time to do a job or getting it done quickly? 1 Kings 6:38-7:1 says that it took Solomon 7 years to build the Lord's temple, but 13 years to build his palace. Is this saying that Solomon cared more about God because he finished the temple first and in half the time or that he loved his palace more because he spent more time on it? If anyone has a great answer I would love to hear it!

Taking our time to do things can be good when its something we want to do for ourselves. When its something that God has called us to do though, taking our time, and being lazy can go hand-in-hand. We don't know how much time we have here on Earth, and because of that, I feel that waiting too long is just a waste of time. If you take too long to do something, who says its going to get done at all?
I've had to think about this myself with preparing for mission work. I don't know when or where I'm supposed to go yet, only that I'm supposed to go. So I could sit around and wait, or I could constantly sharpen my knowledge of scripture and prepare myself, knowing that when the time comes, I will be ready and not behind.
