We live in a society today where instant gratification is king. With internet, cellphones, tablets, and televisions, the age of information technology has truly changed the shape of this world. Now, I can facebook someone in Japan, get their email address, and email them an eBook in less than five minutes.
We put food in the microwave that was previously slow cooked for hours and expect to get the same taste. We rush into relationships instead of taking the time to see if this is what God truly wants for our lives. We rush into fast food restaurants because we do not want to wait for a premium meal. We rush to read through the Bible to say that we have done it, and maybe get a feeling of some sort of self righteousness.
But the Bible tells us in Phil. 4.13 (as Paul was writing to the church of Philipi) to be anxious for nothing. That means that we are to trust in the Lord with patience, not being anxious for anything, especially the things of this world. When we trust that God is Able and does provide, then we do not need to be anxious for anything, I mean absolutely nothing. God is Able and takes care of His own, He reigns over the just and the unjust, so be anxious for nothing!
