Your Devices

Do you believe God speaks to His people? He absolutely does! We are able to hear what he is saying. Usually not audibly, but through bible reading, other peoples words, circumstances or the inner leading of the Holy Spirit. We just have to listen and obey.

In Psalm 81, we read that God’s chosen people, Israel, wouldn’t listen to Him. They bowed to false gods. God wanted to do so much for them if they would have submitted to Him. They wouldn’t and therefore God “Gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.” (Psalm 81:12) The bible literally uses the word devices. That’s what we call our phones, tables, laptops, etc. What a call to alarm! We need to ask ourselves if we too are turning from Him to our own devices. Are our hearts stubborn? I know for me it’s way too easy to grab my phone instead of my bible. It’s not what I need! We all need to be careful not to neglect spending time listening to God. He offers us the best, even when we don’t know what that is. He fulfills us and provides us with true satisfaction. Run to him today, instead of your devices.
