Think about this:
Have you ever tried to leave the house to go somewhere, but you can't because you have misplaced your cell phone and you can not live without it?
Dinner is ready. Time to sit down with the family, but your eyes are glued to the T.V.?
Are you ready to go to church? No, because you can not let go of the remote to the Xbox.
Technology has become a big part of your life whether you realize it or not. Sometimes, it may even end up controlling your life.
Now think about this: What if people were that concerned about other things, more important things. Like spending time with family, cleaning your room, doing homework, or even reading the bible and talking with God.
Because we are humans, we will have problems. But, sometimes, instead of turning to God for help, we play video games, search the Internet, text our friends. Then our problems get buried and may even become worse. Don't get me wrong. Technology is great! But if it runs your life and that is your life, take a minute and pick up a bible.
Now this is your challenge:
God deserves more attention than your cell phone. Find time during the week and turn all your electronics OFF. Talk to God. I promise you He does not mind and He will listen to you.
(P.S. Use you head. Don't turn anything off that might aggravate the parents!!)
Let me know how it woks out! =D
This is a very insightful post. Yeah, technology has influenced and affected the lives of so many though a lot are really unavoidable. There are good and bad. We just need to balance. And I agree, God deserves the most of our attention.
