11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God? Psalm 77:11-13
I read something this week that discussed how media and technology has completely changed the way people think. According to the study, people typically don't spend time just pondering life and things of this world. In fact, these individuals believe the technology has reduced our creativity and makes us constantly have a need to know what is going on. This made me start to think of how much time do I really sit in silence and ponder life or meditate on God's Word and what He has done for us. I am right in the pack with everyone else and have seen where this technology has distracted me from just sitting in silence and thinking about our life, the world and what kind of difference I can make in others lives. Reflection and creativity have to be strengthened and the best way to do that is to take time daily to be reflective on how we can come closer to God and His teachings. God tells us to meditate on His Word day and night, but take a step back and look at how many minutes you spend on your phone compared to how many minutes you are in prayerful reflection. I bet there is a wide divide like with me. So what can we do? Remember to take time for yourself away from the hustle and bustle and reflect on God and what He has done for you. Then maybe you can start to change the trend of focusing less on yourself and more on God and His guidance.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
