Jeremiah 33:3 (ESV)
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great
and hidden things that you have not known.
In today's society, fast food is making billions. Some of
these slogans are "have it your way" and "have it hot and have
it now". How easy it is for us to fall into this "fast food
mentality". It has almost become who we are. But in God's kingdom, there's
no fast food. We can't always have it our way and now. When we are caught up in
this fast food mentality, we lose the true meaning of patience. True patience
is the ability to wait on the Lord through trials without complaining and
worrying; it is to be tested and persevere through trial.
We need to be patiently waiting on the Lord to answer us
in a new way! We cannot shortcut the things of God. If we want a deeper
anointing of the Spirit in our lives, we need to avoid this fast food
mentality. We cannot have a deeper walk with the Lord without spending time in
his Word, without spending time in intimate prayer, without walking in repentance
and humility, and practicing a life of holiness. Is this a tall order? Yes, but
when we are focused on God and patiently waiting on Him to answer -- He will be
preparing a blessing beyond our imagination!
Let's not settle for a hamburger, fries, and coke — when
the Lord has a delicious, heavenly feast prepared for us!
Dear Lord, help us not settle for the fast things in live
but instead be patient on the great things that You have prepared for us. In
the Name of Jesus, Amen.
