*In these modern times we have so much technology available to us. We have computers, cell-phones, telephones, TVs, i-pods, mp3 players, radios, and more. Every single day most of us spend a lot of time using one of these things. Maybe on the Internet, texting, watching TV, listening to music, or just playing basically pointless games. I myself spend a lot of time on the computer. I could be editing random pictures, updating my facebook, or replying to emails. No matter what it is i spend way to much time on the computer.
*Recently I've been thinking about much time i spend on the computer or on my other forms of technology and then comparing that to how much time I actually spend just reading God's Word and meditating on it. Every day i read the Bible for 30 minutes. Its really not that long. And then when i compare that short time to how much time i spend doing other things it just gets smaller and smaller in comparison. I don't even realize it most times but i might spend 2-3 hours on the computer. And most of the time I'm not doing anything important. I'm definitely not saying that technology is bad. I'm just saying that everybody needs to watch how much time we spend on it. And definitely me.
*After realizing that i spend so much time in the computer and not very much time in the Word, I need to do something about it. So I'm going to see how much time i spend on the computer and spent that same amount of time just reading the Bible. You can do it too. Just take whichever form of technology that you spend the most time on, without really benefiting from that, and then add up the time and read the Bible for that same amount of time.
*It's very good to have someone you can be accountable to. Make sure it is somebody that is also willing to be accountable to you. Whether its your spouse, mom, dad, brother, sister, or friend. Just find someone that can ask you if you've been staying on track. But most importantly don't think of this as a chore. Think of it as a way that God is drawing you closer to Him, because He is.
*I would love to be accountable to you as well. And would love to hear feedback on what's going on. So here's my email- sarahbeans.shortstuff@gmail.com
*Keep strong in your commitments and beliefs. God Bless.
