Google God

What did we do before Google? 

• We ran to the store for taco seasoning instead of finding out how to make our own. 
• We used the encyclopedia to research the history of the pilgrims. 
• We flipped through magazines looking for a recipe to make for supper. 
• We called the a friend who knows a nurse to ask what to do for the rash our little one is wearing. 

Did you know that if you Google the word God, you will get 1,870,000,000 results?  That is mind-boggling!  I didn’t pull up even one of the sites, because the first one listed was from the Mormons, and one not far below it was supporting the idea that God is not real, but imaginary.  It’s not healthy to even look at sites or books that teach erroneous doctrine.  Steer clear.  Don’t even satisfy your curiosity!

I was just thinking about how wise it would be for us to “Google God” (what I mean is, PRAY) first in every situation we face.  Have an issue with your child and don’t know what to do?  Google God.  PRAY.  Wondering how to spend your vacation time this year?  Google God.  PRAY.  Need wisdom to teach that Sunday school class, serve in a ministry, or witness to a friend?  Google God.  PRAY.  Need a provision?  Google God. PRAY.  Want to see God at work in your home?  Google God. PRAY. 

Before we run to the computer, call a friend, consult a counselor, refuse a service opportunity, take out a loan or waste our time, let’s Google God by spending time on our knees praying and seeking His wisdom and grace to help in our time of need.  Hebrews 4:16 

Unlike Google, God will never give lead us astray!  Make Him your first source for every need today!

Do you keep a prayer journal?  What has it meant to you?

With love,
