I need instant results!!!

Recently, someone I know, was commenting on how he's been going to the gym for a couple of weeks to lose weight, and how its hardly made a dent in his weighing scale readings, I mean the guy is trying all he can , trying to eat right and avoid certain foods , working out regularly , doing all the right things possible and still not seeing the ' expected' results, so he is indeed frustrated, and is now even thinking of throwing in the towel and going back to his old ways, frustration reigns and its just human nature , from his point of view he is correct , if pain does not result in gain , then whats the point ? I NEED TO SEE RESULTS , AND THAT TOO ,WITHOUT MUCH OR NO DELAY !!!

We live in an ' instant result' world , I mean look around you at the grocery store, hundreds of ' instant products' , go to a pharmacy and you see a lot of ' instant weight loss' , and 'instant energy' products , its all intended to seduce our brain with the ' instant result ' punchline and we love it, I mean who likes to wait ? patience is not in vogue .

The above can be compared to our Christian life, we need certain prayers to be answered by God, and we do all the good and right things , we pray constantly, go to Church fellowships, fast twice a week , get rid off bad habits etc and do all that, but still there is no answer from God, absolutely nothing , no results, then the negative thinking creeps in " Am I being heard ? " , " Maybe Im not good enough " , " Im cursed, and God just will not listen " , "Look at Mariamma next door, hardly prays or goes to Church, but she won the lottery, how unfair is that? " , so on and so forth, until one fine day the towel is thrown into the ring and we give up and go back to the old ways , why? because no instant result is seen.

Friends , The negative thoughts mentioned above are the weapons of Satan , do not give in to it, its just a cheap trick , we are sons and daughters of the Living God and we just dont fall for cheap stuff , those thoughts are just wrong, Our God is a God who listens to the prayers of His children, all the promises of the Bible are true , we just have to live in faith, I know its easy to say this , but it is true, Faith is seeing without believing and prayers will be answered, there is no doubt about it, its just that God answers prayers in His time , not ours, so lets not wait for ' instant results' that have been programmed in our brain, but rather wait for God's results, they are the best and it WILL happen. Prayers have always been answered , so walk in faith, be confident and hold your head high, no matter what others may say , you belong to God and Never Never give up on God. Wake up every morning and say " I have the favor of Jesus with me ' and it will be a great day ! "

God Bless.
