Put Down Your Phone
Psalm 96:5
“For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.”
The title of this “Start your day” is meant to jolt the reader a little bit. Yahweh has revealed to me recently that we as sons need to be “present” in every moment. Sons should never be on auto pilot or simply going through the motions. For example, modern society is programmed to look down at a cell phone and scroll. What are we looking for on our phones? Nothing really.. We simply stare at a screen and waste hours and hours not being present in the moments Yahweh has given us.
This is a wake up call! It’s one I needed, and I am sure there are others who need it as well. Can I tell you from personal experience that the action of not staring at your phone for hours at a time has been liberating. Dare I say, this enables you to hear Yahweh’s voice more clearly. When you are present in the moment, He can speak to you without having to filter through a cluttered mind.
Start your day with praise and thanksgiving and put your phone aside. Do we still use our phone in our daily lives? Of course! However, do not make your phone your god and let it consume your life. Prioritize Yahweh, and I guarantee you will start to see Him move on your behalf in all areas of your life.
