Have you ever noticed that when you fill out a blog comment or something similar, most ask you for "word verification"?? It seems really simple. Wavy letters, crooked numbers, no big deal.
But you can read it.Although you and I know that computers are
amazing! They can build mini-micro machines, find out if your debit card is authorized in 2 seconds flat, but it takes a human to read squiggly letters.
It's discernment. It's taking what we know and applying it to this instance. I can download the bible to my cell phone, my son can blow on the screen of his DS and create a virtual bubble (wow) and we can be full-on techno-geeks but God's Word was meant
for Us. Our human minds. We are the only ones who can look at the text on the pages and use discernment, with the aid of the Holy Spirit of course, to know what He is trying to say to us. Whales can't, dogs can't, monkeys can't.
It's SO simple. Isn't it
wild how we are so
fearfully and wonderfully made?It seems computers really started to grow & develop in the 60's, and actually, so did I, but my brain -
your brain - was designed by God, perfect. 1000 years ago, brains were the same as now. 2000 years ago... and all the way back to the time of Adam, our human minds were made for discernment. They didn't need to be perfected. They don't freeze and need to be re-booted. Well, mine sort of does. Tom can totally attest to that. But imagine if Adam did not have a fully functional brain - when God walked with Adam... what would they have been able to talk about?? Cavemen-schmavmen... hooey.
It's just some thoughts I've been having lately... what do
you think?
