And it’s not just with get rich schemes but this same principal of "Instant Everything" applies across the board.For example: a starvation type diet without daily lifestyle changes usually comes back along with compounded interest.If you've ever considered politics, you know quick fixes don't solve the long term problems; i.e. the National Debt; need I say more?Even in churches, rapidly growing congregations can sometimes implode from within because they settled back into the same old self centered mindsets that had always kept them from their mission attentiveness before. Their gain numbers quickly schemes wound up breaking them.

As for a spiritual application; the Bible teaches us that salvation is not a box that we check off and then go on about our old life, seeking our same old delights.Our desire has completely changed. We don’t taste and savor the awesomeness of Jesus and then go back to our old eating lifestyle of the worlds junk food.Psalm Some people are out for a quick fix with salvation but salvation is not a fix, it’s a change. Our life style changes because why? because we are a new creation in Christ Jesus.Listen to how the Psalmist describes their new way of life. It’s not a one time thing that allows us to return to finding our worship in the things of the world.​ Psalm
