I’ve just had our desktop PC upgraded and had more up to date software put in it as mine had crashed, it was so old. I now have to learn the new software which is not easy as I only have a moderate amount of skill with the computer but it’s one of those things that just has to be done in order to survive with all the modern technology.
The thought occurred to me that the Christian life is like that too. In order to not just survive, but to thrive in this life we have to be prepared to learn new things when God wants to give us new insights and fresh revelation about Himself or His kingdom. There is so much we don’t know!
Where the Word of God is concerned I know it’s no good being a dinosaur and saying “I don’t need to know.’ Our scripture says God’s people can actually be destroyed through lack of knowledge. What we don’t know may be hurting us, but what we do know may save us!
I wish there was a USB stick I could plug in my brain where all the skill to work the computer was plugged in to my head immediately but it will need time and effort to learn. In the same way God wants us to be willing to spend time to know Him so we’re prepared for the days ahead, or maybe so we can have the right word to say to someone who really needs a word of encouragement at the right time.
Whatever we learn about the Lord it’s for our benefit, may be for our protection, and will definitely be a blessing to us, so can I encourage us all to get ‘plugged in’ to the Word of God more than ever as the year unfolds. I know we won’t regret it.🙂
Have a blessed weekend.🙂
