The world teaches us about instant gratification and even glorifies it. You order fast food and after you hand over the money, they immediately hand your order to you at the counter. You see in the news about how someone bought the winning lottery ticket at the convenience store when they went to buy some milk. Success does not come by luck or just being in the right place at the right time. You have to be in the right place and you have to be ready to act. People get the same misconception with God and His Kingdom. They think that God&#8217;s blessings just fall on them. However, the Bible teaches something very different. The Bible teaches that growth in our lives starts with learning to use what we have.
