I Love Gadgets

John 14:26 But the Helper will teach you everything and cause you to remember all that I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name.

It’s easy to be dazzled by all the hi-tech in our lives, absolutely. But as much as technology is changing our lives, there’s something else or should I say someone else with such power to revolutionise your life that it’ll simply blow you away.

I love my gadgets – always have and I suspect I always will.

Think about it; you talk to your smartphone, “Play me some of my favourite music. What’s my next appointment? Take me there.” And off you go. It actually understands me. I love that. And whilst these days all that’s becoming a bit passé, we could never have imagined, even five years ago, the power of technology to revolutionise our lives.

Now for years, every now and then I’d bump my head up against religion. And you know something, I didn’t understand it and it didn’t understand me. We were on different planets and in many respects we still are.

But Jesus … well, He turned out rather different. He talks my language. We understand each other. I mean He’s into real stuff. Life. You know … the smartphone thing … that’s great. But speaking with God, hearing Him speak back, seeing Him change my life before my eyes … that’s mind-blowing. Jesus once said this:

John 14:26 But the Helper will teach you everything and cause you to remember all that I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name.

The thing you start to realise the closer you draw to Jesus, the more your heart yearns to follow Him, is that He unleashes the power of the Holy Spirit in your life to be your helper, to help you be all that God made you to be.

And honestly, I could never have imagined the power He has to transform a life.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
