Everyone wants a quick answer, an immediate solution, and instant results. I get it; I’m no different. I do believe we can have this but the path that leads to the drive thru can be long and arduous. It usually takes years to get there. That is, if you ever make it to the drive thru. Many don’t.
What I continue to learn is that God is our answer to everything. Many of us know that in our head but do we know it in our heart? Do we feel more comfortable with a padded bank account? Certainly there’s nothing wrong with that if we are trusting God but are we? Or are we trusting the bank account?
I believe that when we truly understand – from deep within – that God is not only our Answer but our Great Resource, Prince of Peace, Joy, Healer, and Director of our lives, as well as Savior, we will experience the drive thru sensation. Not a cheap counterfeit, but a deep assurance that God loves us, is for us, and has our back.
In the meantime we must fight the demons of doubt, worry, stress, and all the unconscious lies we believe about God, His love, and His goodness.
