being LEVEL-headed

 


Isaiah 26:3

King James Version

3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, 

whose mind is stayed on thee: 

because he trusteth in thee.


Does it matter so much we have the latest app, gadget, or tech?

Does it matter so much we're always in the know, tech-wise?

Does it matter what people think of you?

Is it wise to do so?

Or, would you rather put your faith in CHRIST?

In the ONE, TRUE LORD of ALL.

In Whom life, truth, and salvation, comes from:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


It's mighty tiresome running after the latest this, or that.

It can even create neurosis in you.

And to what end?

That you're always in the "loop"?

That you're "trending"?

That you're not "left behind"?

Methinks, if you keep following trends, you may be left behind.

And I don't mean by the world's standards.

This is what I mean:

Matthew 24:39-42

King James Version

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: 

for ye know not what hour 

your Lord doth come.


You will be left behind if you focus on idolatry.

Worshiping the latest gadgets, sports heroes, music mavericks, fleeting fashion, latest tech.

And whatever else this fallen world deems "cool", and "must have".

Making sure your heart stays farthest away from GOD.

That's the enemy's plan.

To keep you "occupied".

So, he can "occupy".

The Bible did say:

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


Sure, we're all running a race.

Not a race to find who's the smartest, most famous, and wealthiest.

Rather, it's a different kind of race.

At least, for born agains.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

King James Version

7 I have fought a good fight, 

I have finished my course, 

I have kept the faith:

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me 

a crown of righteousness, 

which the Lord, 

the righteous judge, 

shall give me at that day: 

and not to me only, 

but unto all them also 

that love his appearing.


Who cares if you don't have the latest gadget?

Who cares if you're not in the "loop"?

Who cares if you don't know the latest tech "lingo"?

Who cares if you can't program at all?

Will the LORD judge you that way?

Won't it rather be this way:

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.


Of course, the LORD found His answer a long time ago.

Romans 3:11

King James Version

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.


Folks, time for you to have a change of heart.

In place of going ga-ga over technology.

Colossians 3:2

King James Version

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


That is, if this is what you want:

Colossians 3:1

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
