The years roll by and invention after invention replaces the old. Can you believe that the first simple camera came out in 1888 by Kodak. Their sales slogan was "You press the button, we do the rest." True it was so simple any person could use it but it still required processing. Polaraoid developed the instant camera that spit out a finished photo and the Kodak had to go back to the drawing board. Now we are in the digital age and your phone takes the picture.

"The Pushbutton Society" came about in the early 1950’s. There were pushbutton cars, pushbutton lights, pushbutton TV’s and a thousand other pushbutton products .

I'm not certain that this attitude hasn't bred a laziness, an occasional unwillingness to struggle at some of the important things in life that will always be hard work. How do you build a solid marriage or raise well-balanced children or become a Christ-like person at the push of a button?

Of course not. Let us remember to take time to work at what really matters.

God’s Wisdom: Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. (Phil. 2:12,13)

Worldly Wisdom: The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can't do. Dennis Waitley
