I Love Technology...maybe
Technology is not a bad thing; in fact, I love it! I love the fact that my home has an air conditioner. I love the fact that I can talk on the phone anywhere I want (sometimes!!!) I love the fact that I can listen to hundreds of songs that seem to all fit in this little thingy called an I-pod.
BUT--yesterday I realized how much I depend on technology by the fact that I was frustrated because the computer would not work right. As many of you know--I am A-D-D, and a person like me cannot focus too well on things, unless it is a problem--and then we tend to hyper-focus. I guess I must have tried to figure out the problem about 15-20 times...and that is funny to me since I know nothing about computers.
I finally went home so I could send out some e-mails and check a few things...and there was instant relief. Technology was once again a part of my life and I could rejoice.
So I had a thought this morning...and I am pretty sure it was from God, "Hey Keith, what if you depended on the Lord the way you depended on technology yesterday?"
OUCH!!!
What if I were to be that dependant upon God? How would that look? I know that He is the Vine and I am a branch--but I was challenged to continually surrender every single minute of my day and depend on Him more than my computer or cell phone--WOW--that could relieve some major frustration!
