Topic:
An Age Of Instant Gratification
We live in an age of instant gratification. None of us is immune. We
want instant answers to prayers. We want instant works by God. We want
instant tangible physical power from God. We definitely don't want to wait
on God to do things in His time. We definitely don't want to perspire to
get what we want. We live and want excess. We live and want to be
pampered. We want a parent to look out for our every need.
It is time to grow up. Being grown up means we hold off on what we
want. Being grown up means we don't get what we want and we then go on and
do the job anyway. Being grown up means we sacrifice.
Teaching a child to sacrifice is one of the greatest lessons any parent
can teach because there is no progress in a person's life without
sacrifice. No person, society, church, organization, or social entity can
endure without sacrifice.
