Matthew 42And after fastingforty days and forty nights, hewas hungry.3Andthe tempter came and said to him, If you arethe Son of God, commandthese stones to become loaves of bread.

Matthew 44But he answered,It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

10

Deuteronomy 8:33And he humbled you andlet you hunger andfed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know thatman does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every wordthat comes from the mouth of theLord.

Dr. Narayan JanakiramanThe need for instant gratification is not new, but our expectation of instant has become faster, and as a result, our patience is thinner.

In this day and age of soundbytes and instant gratification, we often forget the value of spending time doing something of value.

Simon Sinek

In this day and age of soundbytes and instant gratification, we often forget the value of spending time doing something of value.

We live in a world in which a YouTube video longer than 5 min is considered too long. We live in a world in which ideas that are supposed to change the world are given a maximum time of 18 minutes to share. There is a reason a home cooked meal has greater value than fast food...and its not just because of the ingredients. Its because a meal cooked at home is slow. It has to be. We cant make something with love in a microwave. The process is slow. Slow is what allows us to learn. Slow is what allows us to trust. Slow is what allows us to feel love for each other. The problem with slow is it requires time. And thats exactly why its so powerful. It is the single highest gift we can give to someone, to give them our time. To offer hours, days, weeks, months or more knowing full well that any time we spend we will not get back, ever. Time is a non-refundable commodity. Once its spent, its gone. Time, more than money, has real, lasting value. Anything slow, by definition, takes time...and that's exactly what makes it special.

Matthew 47Jesus said to him,Againit is written,You shall notput the Lord your God to the test.You shall not put theLORDyour God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.(Deut. 6:16)

Matthew 4

Jesus said to him,Againit is written,You shall notput the Lord your God to the test.

You shall not put theLORDyour God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.(Deut. 6:16)

Context of Deut. 6 Israel grumbled against Moses and God because of thirst in the wilderness of Zin. This is the occasion where God told Moses to strike a rock with his staff, and God brought water out of the stone. The place was named Massah, which means test because Israel put God to the test.19
