Challenge #3: Try to only use “new technology” that is necessary for your life.
There’s an app for everything. With the purpose of making life more convenient, apps tend to clutter our minds and vie for our attention.
Between your Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn feeds, there is always something to keep your mind entertained.
But what is this constant flood of information really doing to us?
In Colossians 3:2 we are reminded that we are to set our minds on things above, not things below. But how natural is this to do when our eyes and minds are glued to our phones most of the hours of the day? Or when our minds are set on what our friends are up to, how our team is doing, or the latest fall fashion trends?
As you reflect more upon the technologies that consume your life, be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading. Ask God what He wants of You when it comes to the technology in your life. Prayerfully consider getting rid of phone apps that aren’t absolutely necessary for your everyday functioning.
Pray:
Holy Spirit, living in this world can be such a tricky thing. There are so many exciting things vying for my attention and I admit it can be easy to set my eyes on the things of this world rather than on You. I ask You, Father, to convict me of the places where I need to simplify in my life. Show me the technologies that are distracting me and that are not necessary to my thriving, are not helpful in my walk with You, or are perhaps destructive to my spiritual health. I pray for Your grace as I try to cut out the things that distract and fix my eyes on the things that fulfill. Amen.
