Psalm 14:2
King James Version
2 The Lord looked down from heaven
upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand,
and seek God.
What seems to occupy us mostly, these days?
It's the universal gadget.
Everywhere you look, young or old, they've got phones.
People don't look at each other anymore.
They don't talk.
Families face their phones at the dining table.
They go to their rooms, to have more of the same.
They give it to their babies, to stop them from crying.
They even make animals watch.
They drive, they commute, they walk -- all heads bowed over their phones.
May we bow before GOD instead.
The enemy's really crafty.
He always knows how to go around God's commandments.
And if you do not know GOD's WORD, you'll be taken in.
The new idols are not graven images, of wood, stone, or metal.
They're our phones.
They're sports, fashion, and entertainment idols.
The so-called masters of finance.
The masters of cool.
But JESUS said, there is only ONE master:
Matthew 23:10
King James Version
10 Neither be ye called masters:
for one is your Master,
even Christ.
The deeper we go into technology, the more God is scrapped from our lives.
We think we're in touch, but we're not at all.
The more you seek the world, the more you forget God.
Wasn't that the enemy's strategy?
To make you so self-absorbed, so vain, so proud, so distracted, that you forget God?
Surely, you're aware of that.
Surely, you can feel some emptiness within.
For when you post your pictures, others will outdo you.
When you earn your first million, others have earned their second.
When you think you're pretty, there will always be someone prettier.
We're all seeking approval from the world.
We seek likes, and accolade.
How very neurotic of us.
In the meantime, God observes:
Romans 3:11
King James Version
11 There is none that understandeth,
there is none that seeketh after God.
Romans 3:12
King James Version
12 They are all gone out of the way,
they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.
And JESUS wondered:
Luke 18:8
King James Version
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,
shall he find faith on the earth?
Where are you in your walk with JESUS right now?
Are you with JESUS at all?
