For some of us life just seems to get more technical, complicated, and confusing. There are PCs, Laptops, Mobile phones, Digital cameras and 3D films (to name but a few) seemingly designed to baffle those of us who started all this 'technology' with a crystal set. For those too young to have heard of this, it was an early device for receiving radio signals. To operate this you had to twiddle a small knob which controlled a 'cat's whisker' against a crystal. This altered the frequency of the set till you found the right signal. We thought it was brilliant!
Now, if you don't understand the technology of many of the new devices available, you can be totally lost. Still, like me, you will find that your children and grandchildren will try to explain how to work most of these things if you ask them. Although it may be accompanied by comments such as, "It's simple Grandad, you just push this switch and press the right button and there you are."
"No, not that button Grandad, this one!" Within minutes you can be completely brain-dead, and looking for the way out.
It seems that you have to be so in tune with technology to do anything these days, doesn't it?
Actually, no. We have something that outdoes all the most technological devices ever invented.
God.
You only have to ask. No buttons, no switches, no texting, no digitizing. No clever stuff. You can put all that to one side. Simply take a minute, relax, think what you want to say, and talk to the Lord. All problems, needs, guidance can be offered to him and you will be heard. You may not get the answer at the push of a button, but you will get one in some form, in due course. It will be the right answer, and it doesn't cost a fortune either!
Technology can be very clever, very useful, and usually fast. But it still can't compete with God.
