Proverbs 18:24

A hurry-up lifestyle results in a throwaway culture. Things that should be lasting and meaningful are sacrificed on the altar of the temporary and superficial.

The major fallout in such a setting is the habit of viewing relationships casually. This cavalier attitude cripples society in various ways:

1 Peter 3:15

2 Corinthians 5:17

Proverbs 23:12

Isaiah 41:10

Romans 9:16

Proverbs 18:12

Psalm 57:1

Job 11:7-8

Isaiah 49:16

"The Lord has forsaken me...He has walked away...He has totally forgotten me." 

Ever said that? Of course you have! How about on Monday morning? You've just come off a glorious weekend retreat. Time in the Word. Great worship. Lots of laughter. Meaningful prayer.... Then comes eight o'clock Monday morning back home, and your whole world caves in. 

"The Lord's forgotten me. He's completely left the scene."

But God says, "You are written on the palms of My hands. You are continually before Me."
