When technology hurts
We cling to our phones and feel disconnected if we can’t be online. Facebook, twitter, 24/7. Benefits in some ways. But technology is not always a source of comfort. Clients of companies want speed, quality. Some work at a relentless pace in a climate of incessant emails. An unchecked email at midnight loses a deal. Work induced anxiety is more common–furthered by… technology.
Does the Bible address this? Is His word truly timeless? Yes! God’s direction in the Old Testament and New was keep one day to rest, recover, refuel, and honor Him. Jesus left the crowds and went into the wilderness for solitude with His Father.
Our response. Boundaries! Times we set aside for ourselves, our loved ones, and our faith.
