Know that the LORD Himself is God;
it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.
Psalm 100:3
We live today in a microwave culture. If it takes longer
than five minutes to fix lunch, that's long!
In earlier days, you even had to wait for a TV set to warm
up. Can you imagine? And you couldn't push a single button on your phone to
call home on a pre-set number, you had to dial it . . . with your finger, for
pity's sake. Talk about the stone age!
I remember driving by a vacant lot some time ago, then going
by the same corner several weeks later. Where there had been nothing but grass
and weeds, empty beer cans, and trash just days before, there was now a huge
warehouse, assembled from pre-fab sections, ready to receive goods.
That's the way life is today. Fast. Compressed. Condensed.
Slam-bang-it's-done.
Not so in God's wilderness schooling. When it comes to
walking with God, there is no such thing as instant maturity. God doesn't mass
produce His saints. He hand-tools each one, and it always takes longer than we
expected.
