READ: 2 Chronicles 24:2-16
“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to THE SWIFT, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” – Ecclesiastes 9:11
You need speed for building. Slow thinkers cannot build. Those who are slow to jump into action cannot build. Speed is necessary for the building of any house. The Levites were told to hasten the matter of building.
After this Joash decided to restore the house of the LORD. And he gathered the priests and the Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you act quickly…” 2 Chronicles 24:4-5 (ESV)

Without hastening the construction, you will not achieve anything. I once belonged to a committee that was assigned to build something. At the very first meeting, a senior brother chided me for being over eager to get on with the project. He said to me, “Young man, don’t be in a hurry. Similar projects in other parts of the world have taken over three hundred years to build.” Even though we could have achieved our goal within four years, the land for the project had not even been demarcated after three years.
Anyone who is experienced in construction will know how important speed is. Many good construction firms build both in the day and in the night. Speed cuts down cost. Speed eliminates waste. Speed surprises those who intend to oppose the project. Speed helps you overcome unforeseen and unavoidable delays.
But it came to pass, that when… [they] heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. Nehemiah 4:7-8
