You can have it now
from Daily Picture · host Stephanie Hawkins
I saw an advertisement along the lines of "If you want it now you can have it now!" This is the psychology of the present time to expect to receive what we want immediately. In my childhood days we would often have to wait a week before we could see the sequel to an exciting show we were watching. Nowadays, we have the other extreme of being able to binge watch. This desire to be instantly gratified is taken advantage of by special offers to the consumers, air fares increasing as soon as we express interest etc. However, Jesus exemplifies and teaches us to be patient and wait for God's Will and timing. He came to earth as a baby, initially wholly reliant on human care, and being fully human with all our feelings of sadness, hunger and pain etc, ready to die for us as a young man of 33 years old, in order to save mankind. His Will was to completely adhere to His Father's Will and not His own desires. Do we stop and say, 'What do you want of me God?' or do we say, 'Let's do this now because it will give me pleasure right now'.
