We find computers running our lives these days… our phones, our cars, our correspondence, our personal files, and our schedules. There are a couple of messages that regularly pop up on my screen. Today I want to share how they remind me of what God is up to.
THE “WAIT” MESSAGE:
THE “WAIT” MESSAGE:
While my computer chugs along loading a program, unloading a program, scanning for a virus or doing other tedious and beyond-my-understanding work a “working” message will often appear on the screen reminding me to wait a little longer.
This is a gentle reminder that God is present and in charge keeps my frustration level down and my patience level up. God sent a message to us about this…
There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish… Phil 1:6 The Message
THE “FRIEND REQUEST” MESSAGE:
Facebook’s FRIEND REQUEST message always peaks my curiosity. Usually it brings a childhood acquaintance, a friend from pre-facebook days or someone I recently met onto my friend list.
Friendship completes ourselves. Sport teams who have friendship between the players have a true advantage. Coaches are very aware that players who are also friends enjoy much more successful seasons of play. These team friends share joy in their wins and comfort in their losses together. Someone once said...
“Friends don’t let friends do life alone.”
Jesus talked about friendship with his followers indicating that sharing life together is what constitutes true friendship. Here is what He said:
Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. John 15:15 NLT
The “FRIEND REQUEST” always reminds me of the one we each receive from Jesus on the facebook of our life. To “confirm” it we only have to let Him know that we choose to be His friend

Blessings…as you consider today’s computer theology.
