i was wrong diay when i said high tech na c Lord. assumption of the mind na pud. the enemy is using technology against us in so many ways. like each time i get a message from jazey, some text missing pirmi. and when she invited me to join her and the gawad kalinga coordinator for our first meeting, i never got any of her messages, even though she sent it three times to all three numbers i have. or the fact na while i was searching for biblical passages online last weekend, my screen displayed an error--page cannot be displayed. got the trojan virus diay. good thing gi heal dayon sa avg nako after sa full scan. or the fact na daot ang connection sa phone lines when i called my daddy sa hospital. was trying to reach out and wanted to share His good news with daddy unta.
see this is what i've learned from all those blocks. we should not trust human-made things and technology. most of the time it is what the enemy uses to destroy us. the most obvious example is the proliferation of nuclear weapons. what were they made for anyway, d ba?
God made the world simple for a reason. but in our quest to better ourselves and improve our lives, we've lost the essence of His creation. the simplicity and beauty of communing with nature. that's what i've learned from all my walking jaunts. it wasn't an addiction after all, it was His way of reminding me that there's more to life than material things. and it came at a time when i was so caught up in all the problems that collecting material things can bring. i was up to my neck in debt, i coud barely sleep cuz of that problem. i was constantly buying things i didn't need, and that only made matters worse.
so when i finally understood that lesson, i was humbled by the beauty and majesty of the world around us. guess we don't need to improve His creations. Everything He made is already perfect. we're just making things worse by tampering with His project.
let go and let God.
that's my lesson for the day. and i'm no longer afraid to share it with the world.

ReplyDeletei'll tell you the two things that happened today that confirmed this Z.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is not at all evil.... it's how it is being used... I wouldn't say technology is the enemy, though...
ReplyDeletenope. technology is not evil. that wasn't my point. i'm saying something is using our own own human-made devices against us. that something is the enemy. well, that's the way i see it now but what do i know? i'm human too.
ReplyDeletei guess i should add this to my lesson for the day. only our Creator knows all the answers. and He's showing us what they are in ways that are both big and small. i'm certain this is too forward and in your face but His love is about courage coupled with humility. this is still a work in progress so please bear with the inconvenience (and discomfort) it brings.
