Have you ever heard, or said the phrase, you can lead a horse to water, but there is no way that you can make it drink? It may seem like a cliche to some, because it some cases it can be, however, when it comes to people, that phrase has proven true time and time again.
What do I mean by that? I mean that, especially in the world of instant gratification, it seems as if most are only satisfied with the final result rather than the beauty in the process. For example, most new age bodybuilders dont like the basics, but will spend lots of money on "shortcuts" instead.
In our desires, this may lead a person to lack one thing, and that is wisdom. That is, the wisdom to be successful and live the life that God wants us to live, and the wisdom to be a good father/ mother etc. Instead we seem to want things like this to happen overnight. Wisdom is often a well overlooked lovely treasure that it is a blessing to seek and find. I urge you, instead of praying for instant gratification, pray for the wisdom of the process!
