Redeeming Social Media

 


 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Normally social media, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook,Pinterest,  You tube and the new conservative sites are all pretty addictive and major time wasters but they don’t have to be. 

You can limit your use with a timer, put on reminder alarms on Alexa. Let’s face it you probably know social media causes relationship problems both inside the home when all family members can’t do without their device, probably there have been divorces over it who knows.  

I like to put my devotions on social media but when I link to Twitter it is easy to start reading vicious Twitter comments with vulgarity about honestly nice people. So post then skidaddle out of there. No reading and getting caught up in the frenzy of news and gossip. Your life will be more peaceful and those you live with will thank you. 

PRAYER: Father thank you for modern technology and the way to stream church, prayer meetings, devotions, podcasts and really good things but help the younger generation those who never did not live without this technology to not become addicted and need therapy for FOMO(fear of missing out) and help all of us think before we post things if it builds up or tears down. Give me self control. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
