Well everyone, you are not going to believe this. After after all these years being a PC I have finally converted over to a MAC. It’s not an easy transition. I still want to do things the way I did on my PC with some futility ridden results. But I am slowly catching on to the whole MAC thing. Now if you really want to be messed up, try using a PC all day and then come home to a MAC. THAT my friends will really mess with your head. The pages don’t scroll the same. You get used to the keyboard on one and then switch to the other. I even caught myself today trying to spin the document around with my fingers on the mousepad of my PC. Argh!
Isn’t this a little like how it feels when you become a Christian? You meet Christ and commit to living for him each day. And it’s way cool when you are church. Almost everyone there has something in common with you. Everyone sings together. Everyone is talking Jesus stuff. All is good with the world. And just as soon as you get comfortable with your MAC, Monday rolls around and you are back to work on your PC: aka, the life outside of church.
All of a sudden it doesn’t feel like church. The people you are working with are pulling you in 15 directions at once. You get caught up in the rat race and constant demands of life. Before long you have went days and not one thought of Jesus or your church. Then Sunday rolls around and we head back to the comfort of our MAC.
If only it were easier. If only there was some way to keep this world from interfering with our eternity. It has to be a priority in your life. It’s not going to happen on it’s own. You have to plan a daily routine and cut out the time for God. More importantly, you have to remember that everything you do for others you should do like it is for God. God created us to Worship, so everything you do is a form of Worship.
Finally, remember to pray. It is the simplest, yet most looked over way to keep on you path with God. You can pray anywhere, or anytime. God wants a relationship with you. Talk to him. Don’t just ask for things. Tell Him you love Him. SHare your life like you do with your family and close friends. He is the BEST friend you will ever have.
Psalm 141:2
“Accept my prayer as incensed offering to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering”
I challenge each of you to get a good daily devotional going. If you don’t know where to start try the YouVersion bible from Lifechurch.tv . There are hundreds of devotions and daily reading programs on their website in a vast array of topics. I don’t care what devotional you read, just do it! And please, if nothing else, get into God’s word. The bible is the best place to start your relationship with God.
Say goodbye PC, and hello MAC in your life!
Welcome to a much better way of computing John. Great post!
