He Is Faithful That Promised

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrew 10:23

The director of the daycare put a message about cellphones in the envelope with our pay checks.

I am not a person that leaves my phone on all the time. I carry mine, turned off, for emergencies and I use it to make long distance calls. My coworkers are using theirs constantly, talking or text messaging. My feeling is if you need to contact me while I am at work, call the office. I remember the time when we could not receive non-emergency calls during work hours. Now it is acceptable to be using phones nonstop.

Even parents come to the daycare talking on their phones. They push the children through the door and turn to leave, continually talking on the phone. When they come to pick them up, they don't stop talking on the phone. I have observed children at the daycare of all ages, playing by holding toys against their ears with their shoulders and pretending to talk on phones.

I want to share this message with everyone:

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cellphone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to get if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
This is something to make you ask...hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cellphone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. And no dropped calls!
I hope it makes you stop and think where are my priorities?

I love that analogy. I wonder what the results would be if everyone with a cell phone carried a Bible or NT and treated it like their phone? I have the NLT Bible on my PDA and can pull it out of purse and read it anytime. It's such a blessing.
