Personal God-phone

Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge. —Proverbs 23:12

Remember when phones were for making phone calls? With the advent of the smart phone, what was once a way to talk to someone has become a storehouse of data. Add cell-phone applications (computer programs) to that, and you can read sports reports, play games, plan trips, find an apartment—or any of well over 100,000 other tasks available with an “app.”

That’s pretty amazing, but the “apps” for phones are nothing compared with the kind of “apps” Scripture gives us. The “applications” of the Bible are direct notes from God telling us how to apply the truth of His Word to all of life.

Take Philippians 2, for instance: The unity app (2:2), the humility app (2:3), the no-grumbling app (2:14), the shine-as-lights app (2:15). Or look at the apps of Ephesians 5: The imitate-God app (5:1), the walk-in-love app (5:2), the purity app (5:3), the tongue app (5:4). And the book of Proverbs? It’s teeming with applications.

You don’t have to wait for someone to offer these on the Internet. Just open the Bible and see the hundreds of ways to apply Scripture in your life. Got a question about the Christian life? Search the Bible. The answers are there, waiting to be discovered. —Dave Branon

Cling to the Bible; this jewel and treasure
Brings life eternal and saves fallen man;
Surely its value no mortal can measure;
Seek for its blessing, O soul, while you can. —Smith

The Bible has treasures of wisdom for you—read it and apply it!

As much as i think Iphones are a bit overrated and overused, i thought this article was a pretty good reminder not to get stuck to using iphone or whatever electronic devises we have all the time.

Had a hearty chat with Joc, haven done that in a while. She told me each morning while traveling to work, she would take time to appreciate the beautiful creation of the Lord. She noticed though, tons of people are so focused on the little gadgets in their hands, they are missing the beauty surrounding them.. I think maybe this way, lesser people have the chance to notice their potential life partners right beside them too. Haha.. Just a random thought.

Haven blogged in a while... Body's getting sick again.. Just still very thankful to God that I am alive, another day to praise Him, to study His words. Yes, i am very discouraged by the fact that i cannot even push heavy things around, or roll newspaper, or sew simple things for long.. But well, i know for sure God dont make mistakes.. so....

Till next time, God blesses and loves everyone!
