Fast Food

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”Jeremiah 33:3.

In today’s society fast food is making billions.

It’s slogans are “have it your way” and “have it hot and 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 life in the Spirit-
– 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
– without 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!

“But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” Luke 8:15.
An official of a mission board, who knew it takes more than just desire to make a missionary-
– was appointed to examine a candidate for the mission field.
He told the young man to be at his house at six o’clock in the morning.
The young man complied and arrived a six o’clock sharp.
The examiner kept him sitting alone in the room until ten.
Then he finally came in and said abruptly-
” Young man, can you write your name?”
A little taken aback by the simplicity of his question, the man paused.
Before he could get a word out, the examiner blurted, “What, you don’t know what it is?”
The mission board official put him through a series of questions of that nature and then went to report to the mission board.
“Okay,” he said, “he will do.”
I tried his patience for hours and hours and he did not break down;
Then I insulted him and he did not lose his temper.
This candidate answered with patience, fortitude, and gentleness.
His faith was vindicated by the very quality of his character.
He will make a good missionary.”
Whether we realize it or not-
– we all are in the mission field.
Our patience is bound to be tested in ways we’ve never imagined and we’ll most likely find it unfair and unkind at times.
But standing strong in the Lord in the face of offensive treatment and enduring seasons of long-suffering is a testimony in and of itself.
And that will win souls!
Are you weary from the walk?
Get your second wind!
Count it all joy!
You have endured much and you will see victory!
Not only here on earth but when we meet the Lord!
