Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (Psalm 27:14)
Oswald Chambers saw a strong connection between our desire for the immediate and lust: “Lust simply means, ‘I must have this at once’; it may be a bodily appetite or a spiritual possession. . . . I cannot wait for God’s time, God is too indifferent; that is the way lust works.”
We live in a world that worships the immediate.
The answer to our craving for the immediate is to focus on the eternal and wait for His answer.
