The Lord is showing me the way I often want to skip the process and get right to the major test for reward.

But isn’t that the reason why failure comes often?

God takes us through the process to make the thing you’re fighting for worthwhile.  Within the process the things that you’re learning actually become part of you. Amen. 

The microwave mentlity never brings about fulfillment or any thing lasting. Only the Lord can keep us from this mentality (i.e. “lead us not into temtation, but deliver us from evil..”).

It’s only when we begin, by the grace of God, to enter into  TRUST that we will see the Lord bring about His victory.
