Psalm 13:1 (NLT)
“O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?”
We are into the age of technology whether we like it or not. I remember when we had “green screens” with the company I worked for. Then fax machines were the big then, then desktop computers, then laptops. Now we have Microsoft Surfaces and even later technology.
Cell phones allow us to be in constant contact with someone or some new app. We are in the age of texting rather than talking to one another. I text but I’m not a fan I like to hear the person I am talking to. Sounds a little like Andy Rooney to those who remember him.
I see someone driving by our home always looking at their phone, walking the dog doing the same I would hate o be their neck always looking down. I cannot imagine anything that interesting.
One form of communication that has not changed is that of prayer. We get instant answers or contact with technology but God operates in His own time. He is not always a microwave God. Sometimes His answers come immediately as with Bartimaeus sometimes the answer is “No” and sometimes it is “Wait.”
The one message we receive immediately is that of repentance, when we ask we receive immediate forgiveness. No waiting on God He is ready to forgive when we ask and make Him the Lord of our lives. That is one prayer where there is no delay in answering.
“The only preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.” Unknown.
God Bless.
