Guarding Our Focus

TV and radio, computers and smart phones
Have altered our lives but have some unknowns.
By the end of the day we’re exhausted and drained.
Our time is all spent, but not much was gained.

We no longer “study” what goes on around us.
Good conversation is nil... not a “plus”.
Relationships suffer because they are “shuffled”.
What is important gets dampened and muffled.

Electronics are a huge “mind invasion”,
Crowding out thoughts of spiritual persuasion.
We need to measure their use with much care
And recognize how they can be a real snare.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2 KJV
