I’ve been a tech geek for a long time. From having electronics components strewn around the house and working toward a Ham Radio license while in high school to building up my own computers in the 90s. Occasionally, I interview someone from a company introducing new software for manufacturing and pause to consider how far technology has come.
But for the most part, I acquire a new iPhone and instantly wish I had more functions rather than enjoying the advances. In my mind I keep raising the bar of expectations. Rather than admiring and enjoying the awe of the magic in my hand, I wish for more.
Our spiritual life can be like that. We ignore the things that God has put into our lives—the people, opportunities, smell of spring flowers, beauty of sunsets. We could pause just admiring the awe of miracles all around us rather than grumbling about some perceived slight.
Let us jump off the treadmill of more and enjoy what God has placed before us.
