We are a society of instant gratification. Almost anything you want comes in some kind of instant form: coffee, tea, breakfast, and much more.
A deep and abiding spiritual life is not an instant reality. Although salvation may come in a flash of recognition, a spiritual relationship comes with self-discipline. Insights are wonderful and often seem to come suddenly, but they actually come only after a long search.
Proverbs 19:27 states: "When you stop learning, you will soon neglect what you already know."So it is in our spiritual lives. When we stop seeking the spirit of God within us, we neglect the development of our own spirits and begin to atrophy.
Spiritual growth is a constant endeavor to be enjoyed on a daily basis.
