Screen time? How about Bible time?

There’s a setting on my phone which lets me know how much screen time I used on a particular day. Scary thought sometimes. I mean, you don’t even realize how much you’re looking at your phone.

Two weeks ago I took time off of Facebook. I had all my posts scheduled to load on my website daily and avoided Facebook altogether. It was nice, heavenly actually. I also took a week off of watching the news. Instead of turning on the news as I usually did when getting ready for work, I turned on some worship music. It was a good break, and it has shown me that I should be filling my mind with good stuff, and not Facebook gossip, bad news reports and just plain junk all the time.

Having less screen time has also shown me that filling your mind with good God stuff, just makes the day a lot easier.

If we all spent the same amount of screen time in the Bible, our world would be a lot better place to live in.

These are different times, no doubt. But, let’s try a different approach to using your time wisely. Every time you’re tempted to see what’s happening on Facebook, turn on some worship music; read a devotion, write a letter to a friend; call someone you haven’t seen in awhile.

Let’s do Bible time and see the statistics slide in God’s favor. Give your time to God. He promises to make your screen time a thing of the past.

James 4:4 - “You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.”
