I recently
posted a picture on my Instagram account, and one of the people who liked it
was a person with the username Does God... So, when I looked at the
notifications it said, "doesgod...liked your post"
it made me stop
and think, Does God, "like" what I am doing on the Internet, is what
I share on there glorifying God, or man? Am I promoting self or giving the
glory to God? When you stop, and think about it all the photos I take are of
what He has created, whether it be nature or something man made, because man
cannot make anything at all without the materials God has already made, man
cannot create something out of nothing. Man, makes the choice to use what God
has made for good or for evil. Man, makes the choice to use his wealth for
himself or to help the less fortunate. Man, makes the choice to look after
planet earth or abuse it. And man, makes the choice to follow God, or himself.
Having made
the choice to repent of his sin, believing on the Lord Jesus, he then chooses
to follow God, to have a personal relationship with God. This is the choice I
made nineteen years ago, and through good times and bad, God has been gracious
and merciful to me, and He has always been faithful.
So, back to
my original thought, in this technological age in which we now live, as a
Christian, am I promoting self, or my Saviour? Are my posts on Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, etc, all about me, and the world and its ways, or am I
sharing what God has done for mankind and for me. Can people tell from my posts
what God has done for me, and how he helps me day by day. Do I share Bible
quotes, or self-help quotes? Do I make motivational speeches or do I share the
gospel?
In short,
does God like my posts?
I trust that
all of us who love the Lord Jesus, will be willing in
our daily
lives to make our internet posts pleasing to God.
And may we
not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
