Before Technology

When we did business before we had cell phones and email, you expected that it would take a day or two for someone to get an answer and return your message. Now, the expectation is that an answer should be forthcoming in no more than a few hours. This is similar to our expectations around God. We expect Him to provide for us or fix our problem almost instantly, but we are unwilling to give him what He needs to do that. He needs and wants that communion with us, kind of the quiet we were in before technology took over our lives. There is nothing wrong with technology or anything, as it is all of God. But we can misuse it so that it takes us away from Him. The longer we spend in that communion with God, the "quicker" we will see the results we want.
