Chasing hastiness dwelling on superficialities!

  

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 21^st 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.
