These days, it seems, "The Cloud" can do anything. You know, most of our portable devices can download, upload, from the Mysterious "Cloud". I have often wondered what happens if it is not a cloudy day? If there are no clouds in the sky, then what? I recently saw a ad for a new E-Reader that can store your books on this "Cloud" until your ready to read them, then when your done with that particular book, put them back in the Cloud and get another one. This whole thing kinda reminds me of George Orwell's book of years ago" 1984" But instead of "Big Brother" could "The Cloud" be watching?
Did you know there has been a Cloud type person that has been around forever? This "Person" can upload our request, download answers, and support, send literally tons of information to us all wireless? (No, I am not talking about Terabytes, or even the next whatever Bytes there is, I am talking about a unlimited data stream.) This "Person" actually made the "Cloud".
I know, I know, you think I have gone a long way for a point, but you see my point, don't you? Since the beginning of time, since God made this whole thing, we have been able to talk to our creator, unseen by us. We don't need any wires, a router, a connection to the "Net". All we have to do is mention the name of our God. Let's try it out, shall we? "Lord, our Father, we come to you this morning with praise for all you have done for us. We love you and want to serve you more. Help us to realize that just by the mere mentioning of your name, we can approach your throne room and petition you for our needs and requests. Thank you Lord for your amazing love for us." There, see as I thought those words, and typed them, the Lord of the Universe listened to me. The God of the Clouds, the Father who sits on the Throne, His Son who died for me, heard me, no wires, no internet, no router.............just because He wanted to.
It's easy for me to get excited about new technology. I love computers, personal devices, cell phones.......they have really changed our world. But, God, the maker of everything, has had this "Technology" forever. Have you ever been in a accident, where you only have time to think, or yell Jesus' name? Did you need a piece of equipment for God to hear you? "Sorry, son, there was a Sun spot at that time, and your message wasn't received, good luck". No, God hears everyone who calls out to Him. Bad reception? No such thing, NO "Bars", No Service, Interference? I don't think so. God's "Net" is the very best, the most amazing thing ever. Not only is it wireless, but it can be used just by Thinking something. God hears our THOUGHTS. Wow, how does that work? Easy, He is GOD, that's how.
Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires"
How can God's word "expose our thoughts and desires" unless God already knows them? God knows everything about us, more then we know ourselves. He knows why we do certain things, He knows our fears that keep us from doing other things. You know "those" fears that we push away, the ones that we don't even admit are there? Yeah, those, God knows about them. He knows the "Secrets" hidden away in our minds and hearts, He knows where they are, and that we think they are hidden from Him, but they are not.
Yes, "The Cloud" is pretty amazing, even on sunny, clear days we can upload or download straight from it. But we know who made the Clouds, the Earth, all the planets, the Sun, the Moon............... Sometimes we, Mankind, think we are pretty slick. We get so arrogant and proud of ALL we have accomplished. I am sure God tires of our patting ourselves on the back, and sitting ourselves up as "Awesome".
Just by saying the word; "Jesus", or "God" or "Father"..........and He will turn His ear to us and listen. We don't even have to say it out loud, just by thinking His name, and He will answer. "Jesus",,,"Yes" He will be there.
Now, how do I upload this to the "Cloud" for safe keeping?
