If it is delaying it is not worth!- Do you think so?



We live in a fast-paced life where efficiency is marked by speed and quick turnaround time. Yes, I do agree there are certain systems, processes and goals that needs to be responded at the earliest, failing which it can cost life, distort judgement, cater to accidents lead to confusion and so on and so forth. But, what about moral values? Someone can want to walk over, take short-cuts to make quick money by cheating and breaking every other protocol.

We are accustomed to fast delivery. Let us find and understand few of them. Eg. Food revolution is one such thing that has become so competitive, you just need to order your favorite meal and it is there in a time that you want. What do you think about Mr Google? Information is just at your fingertips. This is how Google operates, ‘whatever question you raise it, google has an answer already and whatever question you are planning to, or going to ask in future, it has already been asked and answer is provided with multiple alternatives.’ It is overwhelming but is dangerous too.

The Bible warns us about taking shortcuts primarily because it tries to achieve at the cost of violating the rights of someone else. Jesus warns about greediness, sexual immoralities and so many social evils that forces us to be impatient. Consider the danger of porn industry which is rampant today and at the reach of our fingertips. Studies show that children today as young as seven are getting addicted to it and entirely becoming lonely and disorganized. How are we going to help them? Do we have the capacity to help them?

Testimonials of humankind’s accomplishment are both good and bad. We advance in knowledge but regress in morality. People can rationalize as to why one has to wait so long. God has spaced everything at a particular speed to make it safe and good for us. Eg. A baby in the belly takes 10 months to completely grow and be healthy before being delivered. We agree on the danger of fast pacing it. So are the phases of growth in human being spaced for our good. We are God’s children and His plans for us is to bless us and walk with us. He sequences events in our life in the appropriate time. Trust and accept His loving plan for your life.
