The Little Yet Big Things
I was just writing on my personal website on how the Bible+ website tonite gave me a chance to sit and reflect on how God not just uses the big public actions to show His mercy and redeeming love to people, but also the little things. Its really something that the culture of the web can hide if we are not careful, or worse can make seem bigger than it really is.
The more I live, the more I am noticing that its not just what I've done here (online) that really counts in God's eyes. Yes, I've been gifted in this area to do this or that. But its when I address those things that He sees as being relevant that makes for those God-affirming actions (whether online or offline). For me, it was my fustration at the really crappy design of a website that led me into redesigning it for free and it becoming a visialbe point of God working in mobile tech. For you it might be something different. But the point is that when ever tech is on the plate, we do need to see where our faith intersects and act in relvance to God's plan for us (Matthew 28:18-20).
I know, using a smartphone as a Bible might seem as a really insignifiant thing many times. And we might even be drawn to doing so because of some fustration that we have with other things in life. But when those fustrations lead you into doing something that confirms God's Word, mobile really becomes something at the intersection of faith and technology that can change things.
