I am not very computer savvy as some may have gathered but I do have all the gadgets and I love them. I carry an ipad and an iphone and in most cases, they contain the same information with the exception of texts.
My son loves the convienence of the ipad but when I am using it, he often requests to see my iphone in order to access facebook or ESPN. If I am driving, I usually just toss it to him so he can use it with no problem. Sometimes, he just walks into my room and gets it as he states "Mom, I'm going to use your phone."
Last month however, I was already in bed when he came in, picked it up and made that statement. As he walked out, I leaped out of bed with the finesse of gymnast, did a back spin, grabbed the phone from his hand and "stuck the landing." Had I been in the olympics, I would have gotten a 10 from all the judges!
To his shock he merely stared and said "Mom!" I very calmy said "I just need to make sure there is nothing there that you can't see." "What are you trying to hide?" came next. You see, last month was Christmas and I had shared texts with his father about Christmas gifts. That got me to thinking however...How many times would we do back flips, leaps, and tumbles to get to our phone if Christ took it from us to look at it?
Technology while convienent can create problems for us. Normally, I do not have a problem when my son takes my phone but this time it mattered. Although it was a Christmas text that concerned me, it reinforced that if I allow my commitment to Christ dictate what I share on texts, emails, or social sites, I wouldn't have to worry about how many judges give me a ten. My prayer is that God will find me faithful because I'm just looking for a ten...from the judge that counts.
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. James 4:12
