It is the third day of a new year and I’ve got so much on my mind and my heart, I don’t have any idea where to start. One thing about a new year is the ability to try to get a foothold on the things which were hindrances the year before. At least that is my intention as I begin each year.
One thing very frustrating for me is the whole social media rage. When I joined Facebook six years ago it was all about connecting with people from my past and keeping in contact with new friends. The other side of social media was a way to connect with strangers with the enticing juvenile games.
As time progressed social media has become a stream of anti-political musings, blatant displays of witchcrart, disturbing media events, degrading exhibitions performed by children, instruments of misguided worship reducing God’s abilities to chain posts, disguised pornography, and platforms of ignorance. In case it is not obvious, I’ve become completely disillusioned by most social media sites.
I don’t expect many share my views, but I feel very strongly about how misguided our society has become. I have to admit I’ve been fighting off despair about the future. However, as I was praying and communicating with God this morning I realized this is definitely not my battle.
I don’t have the equipment to fight against the masses, but I can still make my beliefs known without shame or fear. It has also made my relationship with God grow to depths I never imagined. My desire to share what I’ve gleaned from the more intense studies is heightened. The urgency to share the goodness seem more important when the newsfeeds are so disheartening.
In my study this morning, I saw my prayer answered and found a peace to watch and pray. “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;” Titus 2:11-12 KJV
That verse says it all for me today. Sober Saturday!! Smooches~~
