The teenage couple walked hand-in-hand, crossing a stone bridge over a rainswelled creek. The heartwarming scene brought back memories of my own first love. Yet, as I drove past, I did a double take. In his other hand, the young man held a cell phone; he was staring at it, not the girl–scrolling away.
The lure of an addictive app is more powerful than young love!
This happens in the spiritual realm, too. I’ve tried to hold God’s unchanging hand, while using my other hand to screen surf the world’s “feed” on my mobile device. (Think listening to the NIV while watching BBC)
The Lord is not amused.
Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
James 3:11-12 (NIV)
James was talking here about praise and cursing coming out of the same mouth, but it also points to a deeper reality.
For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
Jesus- Luke 6:45b (NIV)
Kind reader, can you relate? Like the young man, and me (at times) have you held God’s hand, yet been consumed by the love of something else?
The Lord doesn’t double date.
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
