Automatic
One of the
neat computer features of recent years is the automatic update program. Each
day my computer checks the Internet for me to see if certain programs have been
improved or modified. I can then choose to have the modification added or
ignore it. In theory I have the most up-to-date information and programming
code available.
You've
probably heard of or experienced that computers don't always work the way they
should. Most all problems are related to mistakes someone made in inputting
commands. Sometimes even when the mistakes are corrected, other mistakes crop
up.
God has a
perfect automatic update and upgrade program built into His Software, the
Bible. We are like computer hardware in the sense that God's programming should
guide what we do. His commands are perfect from the start and don't need
fixing, but we always need more of His instructions operating in our lives.
Psalm 119:9 says that God's Word
can keep us from sin. When you and I read God's Word, the Holy Spirit can
instruct us. Whereas we may not have been touched by a passage last year, the
same one may strongly influence us now.
We may get a
message today that we didn't see last week. God always wants to upgrade His
creation as we read and apply His Word.
