A lesson from the keyboard

It's wonderful how much meaning the bible gives to these simple, mundane words. These are subtle reminders to resist transgressing against my God when I use the computer.

Beginning from the left:

  1. Function. Hang on, what's your function? What does God say about your purpose in life? Are you living it? Is what you're about to do compromising and sabotaging you from living it? You are not made for this. 
  2. Control. Self-control. God does not subject us to temptation any more than we can bear. There is a point in exercising self-control because you can succeed. You will triumph over any temptation placed in your way. 
  3. Alternate Option. No, this is not inevitable, even now you have a choice and you can make it. No, you are not that free, there is much work to do, much more that you ought to do. Is there really no better way to spend your life? Do your urges really rob you of doing otherwise? 
  4. Command. Whose command are you under? This is His command, that you flee, that you honour and glorify Him in everything. Does this glorify Him? Does this please Him? Is this according to His command?
