Hastiness and
superficiality are both related with human Character. Hastiness is the result
of the high expectation and work pressure that has spilled on to the daily life
of humans. Man is constantly on the run trying to achieve goals whose posts are
ever moving further. Hastiness is pal to busyness. And it is usually connoted
that busyness is the state of a disordered heart. Are you able to see the
connection? All these are so much connected to each other and identifies with
the state of human heart. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn pointed this out way back
stating, “Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of
the twentieth century.”. You can imagine how true it is and how
much it has intensified in the 21st century.
We have merely
stopped waiting anymore. We are used to getting things so quick that hastiness
has become our lifestyle. Dietrich Bonhoeffer states a truth, “Waiting
is an art that our impatient age has forgotten.”. What is your
heart longing for and what are the pressures that keeps you in constant
hastiness? We
are forced to be hasty connecting so many odd dots for our existence.
The next psychic disease is the superficiality of the age. People are not who they present themselves to the wider world. We are constantly pretending to be someone who we are not, to create a reputable impression. We lie to ourselves and to others, brazenly. In the end we are always wearing a mask based on what we want and are hiding behind it. People have learned to cheat and be cheated to co-exist. The survival of the fittest theory uses any means irrespective of good and bad, to make its living. If this reflects your current status in life, then you need your heart to be formatted.
The hardware problem is physiological
that needs a medical diagnosis. But the software problem is a spiritual problem
that needs a God who is bigger than your heart and who can cleanse your heart
and make it new. Jesus is in the business of transforming hearts because He
indwells human heart. Hastiness and superficiality are going to cost you more
than you can expect. You will be in a constant restlessness state that will
make your life miserable. We pay a huge price if our lives are hasty and
superficial. The Bible talks about the Saviour, “if you confess with
your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved.” You can make a choice today.
