When I was growing up in the 1980's we had a rotary dial phone. You
put your finger in a numbered spot on a circular dialer which clicked as it
returned to its place and registered the 7 or 10 numbers you selected. It
took a full 10 to 20 seconds to complete a call and was really annoying if
the number had a lot of 8s or 9s! Then came touch-tone phones. You pushed a
button, it beeped, and you could make a call in two and a half to three
seconds. Back in those days, a phone was simply an instrument to talk with
someone voice to voice. Nowadays, phones are "smarter"; they are "smart"
phones; and they do everything but make coffee for you in the morning,
although soon I think you can program them to start your coffee maker
before you wake up. You can send or receive emails, text, Facebook,
"Skype", play games, study French, listen to music, record love letters,
pay your bills, watch movies...your phone can be the interface for your
life, and it is, for many people!
These days when you get a phone -- a "smart phone", the first thing you do
is to find the best “apps” for it. Thousands and thousands of apps are
available, with more being created every 5 minutes. Your apps define the
interface of your life. But I had this thought...
...there's
God apps... throughout the Scriptures,
and they're FREE -- thousands of them, every one "GUARANTEED" to be a
top-level "interface" for your life! Check out the love app! [Matthew
22:37-39] Or the Spiritual Fruit App! [Galatians 5:22] Or the Unity App!
[Ephesians 4:2-6] The Scriptures are just filled with apps to apply to the
interface of your life!
Spend some time in God's free "App
Store" this weekend, it's just an opened Bible away! Apply God's apps to
your life -- you'll be dialing into His will, purposes, power, and His
infinitely interesting universe! (George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
