Tecnology

                            I'm gonna share a devotion from our youth leader. He was speaking on our latest gadgets, and how much more advanced it has become! He asked a series of questions. Like; how many of you have your ipods or cellphones on you right now? How many of you would go insane if someone took your ipod away? Or how many of you would feel lost, if you lost your cellphone, or ipod and so on? How many of you text during a meal? How many of you when you first get up in the morning, check your messages, or play on your ipod for latest deals on itunes, before you even pee!? Do you kinda see where I'm going here? Tecnolgoy is not a bad thing...but we need to put God first. I just got me a 4th generation 32 GB ipod touch. And I just love it! Okay, let me re-phrase that...I like it a lot. I just like scrolling through messages or listening to my tunes. But I constantly need to take a raincheck in order that it doesn't become my God! Just as much as we are emmersed in our latest gadgets...we need to be emmersed in God's word. We NEED to be reading his word before we pee, and not who commented on my statement on facebook! Don't let tecnology draw you apart from family and friends. Rather, let God's word draw you closer to them, and not take you away from them. I hope that this short devo, really made you think...Have a great day as you bask in God's great love and protection for you!
