Faith and Tech Bytes with Amy Lynn

The new year everyone tries to start it off right. But while you are focusing on either your mental health, or your physical appearance don't forget about the well-being of your technology and spiritual life.

When was the last time you wiped down your keyboard, screen, or your mouse? I even used canned air to clean out the inside of my mouse because I couldn't remember the last time I did that.  Don't forget to wipe down your remotes too!

As for faith, you could start fresh with the goal to read the whole bible in a year.  I did this a few times with several different versions. I didn't really think it would be possible but it is. 

Jeremiah 29:11 - “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Getting yourself organized is a lot easier with tech than you think.  It takes determination and disciple to be organized. It doesn't "just happen." But technology can help you set schedules and time limits for things you set your mind to doing.

Getting organized in faith takes time too. Finding the time to pray, finding the time to read the bible, finding the time to go to church. Asking God for help to be more organized is a start. Don't pressure yourself or give up.

1 Corinthians 14:40 - "But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way."

Long before we had caller ID on our phones we had to take our chances that the person calling was who they said they were.  And long before we had email, everyone use to snail mail. We would have to take our chances then as well that the mail we got was from a legitimate source. Now with AI, we are once again left wondering if that person we are hearing is who we think they are.

The Bible actually has a lot to say about scams, liars, tricksters and the like. There have been many false witnesses and false prophets. This is why we need to pray for wisdom, truth and understanding.

Proverbs 14:15 - The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.

Many feel that technology slows them down. This could be because they are allowing tech to become a distraction, instead of them controlling the technology. No one has to answer the phone or the texts when they come in and the same with emails.

While it's okay to take control over our lives when it comes to technology, the Bible teaches us to be careful of a controlling spirit. The manipulators in our lives. Controlling people will often use emotional trickery to get their victims to do what they want. This podcast goes hand in hand with my last episode titled "Boundaries." God will guide us if we let him. Many are impatient and take action before God has given his answer. That's when we take control over our own lives instead of God.

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control".
