Are you addicted to speed? I don’t necessarily mean that you drive too fast to get a rush of adrenaline, but more about how long you have to wait for a download before you say out loud — to nobody in particular — “this is taking forever!!”
I’m old enough to have lived through the days of dial-up internet, and when I find myself frustrated with wait times, I wonder what dial-up me would have said to broadband me.
Did you know that you and I can download in 2 minutes a file that would have taken 30 hours over a dial-up connection? And that’s not even with the fastest speeds available today? We expect things to happen at lightning speed, I think that’s why I made a funny face at God when I was listening to His word this morning.
Can you picture this? Abraham runs in, winded and a bit frantic (he’d just met with three angelic messengers, so I get it), and shouts to Sarah, “Quick!! Make bread!”
