Musing – How well do we utilize available technology?



Hebraic Musing – How well do we utilize available technology?
What is the absolute greatest technological information that we tend not to utilize?  … to our own detriment!
Moses related to the Israelites the laws God gave them and the Israelites emphatically said "We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey." Ex 24:7  NIV  
Then Moses had to say  If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers.  He will love you and bless you and…”      Deut. 7:12-13  Someday I’d like to do a whole message on the “IF, THEN” logical statements in the Bible!
God provided wonderful technological knowledge to his children.  But our understanding of His gift reminds me of a popular FaceBook video from a while ago.  Apple came out with their pricey but awesome iPad and the video captured the greatness of the technology as well as how it could be lost on many. In the video, a woman is seen preparing a meal with her elderly father. As he chops vegetables, she asks, “Dad, how do you like the iPad that we gave you for your birthday yesterday?” The father replies, “It’s good.” At that point the viewers see that the “chopping board” is actually the iPad. As his daughter watches in utter shock, the man takes the iPad, rinses it in water, and places it inside the dishwasher!
Maybe the value of technology and knowledge depends on how we use it!
Points to ponder
How thoroughly do we utilize the technology or knowledge
available to us in the Bible?
Is there technology in the Torah we are not utilizing,
thus short-changing ourselves?
