We have become a society that wants everything instantly.
We don't want to wait for anything.
We want instant cocoa, instant oatmeal, microwave meals to speed up cooking, fast food restaurants so we can get a quick bite to eat, we use our fax machines, computers, and mobile phones so we can send and receive information instantly.
We get angry and have road rage if pedestrians have not made it across the street when our light turns green.
We are angry if someone ahead of us is driving the speed limit, but we want them to go faster so we can get to our destination instantly.
We have gotten to a point that if things are not done instantly we get upset, frustrated, stressed, or just down right mad.
Why are we in such a hurry?
We don't care to do anything that requires time and patients, for we have none.
We want what we want and we want it NOW!
Generally speaking, anything worth while takes time, and requires a process.
When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior,
we have made a decision to allow him not only to help us, but to take us through a process.
Most of us don't realize that this is what we are agreeing to, when we accept Christ, but in fact, that is exactly what we are doing.
This process of transformation, like many other processes, take time and patience, and requires commitment.
Are you committed to allowing the Lord to take you through and help you through the Christian Life Process?
It won't be easy, nor instant, but It will be well worth it.
James 1;2-4"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience, but let patience have it's perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
