Well, I just got back from an awesome week of camp. I was blessed to be a counselor for a well mixed group of young men from the ages of 12 -14. They were challenged as well as I was challenged to get unplugged from the world and plug into God. In a world full of “myspaces”, ipods, laptops, internet cyberworlds, cell phones that do what a computer does, xbox-nintendo-playstation game systems, an “electronicphenomena”…there seems to be plenty of distractions to divert one from God. I have to admit that I am guilty of being distracted from God because of my desire to succumb to this electronicphenomena. I have heard it said in the form of a military attack, the idea is to surprise your enemy as their attention is diverted. Well it seems that our attention is sure diverted and the devil is waiting like a lion ready to devour. I was challenged this last week to check myself and see how much of me I am devoting God and how much of me isn’t devoted to God. Is my prayer time less than my TV or Computer time? I am properly worshipping God or am I just singing? How much time do I really spend in His Truth (The Bible)? What am I doing with gifts He has blessed me with, am I receiving glory or am I giving Him glory? Am I being a good steward of the money that He has given me or am I treating the money that He has given me as “mine”? It’s good to be challenged, being comfortable means that I’m not doing anything. Maybe you are one who needs to unplug for bit and plug into God. Blogatchalater!
