This generation is generally called the digital age because with a handheld device, you can connect with anyone in the world. This is actually very good but the concern is in such devices taking total control of you. These days, many are so preoccupied with their phones that they do not have time for God and what matters to Him. Others can spend one hour on social media yet cannot spend same studying God’s word or praying. Don’t give the devil liberty to rob you of God’s blessings.
Have you observed that the position many take when using a phone is such that their heads are bowed? Are you not already giving a phone the place of God? This is dangerous; remember, He is a jealous God? If you have to delete some applications on your phone that you are addicted to, do so.
Put measures in place to ensure you prioritise activities that will make you grow spiritually. If it will take you to place a Bible over your phone at night so when you reach out for the latter in the morning, it is the former you would pick instead, do so.
Some Christians now prefer electronic Bibles. If you must use the electronic Bible, it would be best to offline to cut off distractions from messages and calls. With the Bible applications on phones and tablets, there would be distractions from other applications on the device and the Spirit in the word of God cannot minister to a distracted mind.
