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.
