"When God Is: Speed"

Where were you when I...?"
Job 38:4

It was not so long ago that folks used to wish eachother "God's speed". Things today have the potential to go at speeds that impress us & though we bragg about this in comparison to olden days when things weren't able to go as fast, we are still impatient for them to go even faster. The truth is the reason things are at the speeds they are today in our modern/post-modern time period is because those that came before us were not satisfied with the rate at which things were going and invented all kinds of stuff with open ended improvement capablity. Though the current idea of "right now" may be more immeadiate than our forebear's idea, it is their impatience we've inhereted. When they wished one another God's speed it was not always for particular instences. It was, after a short while, a way of just saying goodbye. Yes, it is their impatience we now have as a legecy.
Folks no longer wish eachother God's speed. The word "cool" is much older than "groovy", but still in full swing. Is "God's speed" outdated due to how long ago it was coined? The word"cool" argues against this (though it may just be too cool to leave usage). The folloing is the most right wing conservitive Christian thing I've probably ever said:
we no longer wish one another God's speed because we're A.) increasingly Godless and B.) both the Godless & spiritual alike (see... noticed even i said "spiritual" & not "Christian etc... we're are becoming increasingly Godless) where was I? Oh, yeah-- and B.) both the Godless & spiritual alike quite simply have found God to be too slow!
You may issue me my flag lapel & parted on the side hair style, now...
Oh, wait. I already have those.
As society uses political correctness to remove more and more of things God in public, little wonder a catch phrase that has Him in it has fallen out of usage. This is why many find political correctness a less than innocent thing. As usual it is an original good thing, become corrupted.
That is A.). B.) is the doosy. It was not so long ago, that things like sudden storms, very, very often attributed to the LORD, were examples of how fast He can be (see Job). Yet, as we've become the give it to me NOW generation, nothing is ever fast enough. As for God's speed? We Christians are always wanting Him to improve us. We want to sin less, and I don't know, I guess "shine" more. Yet, God takes His time and we fidgit. Though trees are an example of nature (ie... God) being slow not fast, a better one is us.The deal is God made us and He knew what we would be like if we ever fell (which we did). Broken things resist quick-fixes. Those are for rare situations, even they of which are usualy temporary-- needing more intensive attention down the road. The LORD must be saying:
"God's speed? You can't HANDLE God's speed!"
