How often do you actually watch commercials? Probably not as often as you did 15 years ago. Now we just fly right through them. Some folks 
who “watch” reality TV will fast forward to the end to find out who won. Some football fans will fast forward between plays. Some racing fans will fast forward until they see a wreck. We love the fast forward!
The trouble is that too many of us want to bring our fast forward fixation into real life. We want to fast-forward our growing up, instead of taking our time. We want to fast-forward our relationships, instead of taking our time. We want to fast-forward our lives, instead of taking our time. We want to fast-forward our worship assemblies, instead of taking our time.
Fast-forwarding might be great for TV, but there’s a reason God didn’t equip our bodies with an FF button. God’s desire is that we make “the best use of the time” that we have (Eph. 5:16) and use every moment for Him (1 Cor. 6:19-20). Life is not meant to be fast-forwarded.
