All this morning, I've been marveling about the wonders of technology. Our devices can give us direction, communication, information, comfort, transportation, and so much more. I wouldn't be the first to use technology as an analogy for the Spirit and the blessings we get through the Spirit. However, while technology is (or can be) a great blessing in our lives, it is not, itself, divine.
Technology is great, but not as good as God is. Whatever directions we get from our GPSs, God's guidance is better. It's great that we can communicate with each other, but it's even better that we can communicate with God. The vast stores of knowledge on the Internet don't hold a candle to the omniscience of God. Homes and AC units provide great comfort, but the Spirit is the true Comforter. And while our cars and planes can get us just about anywhere on earth, living the Gospel is what's going to get us to heaven.
So, yes, technology is wonderful, but the blessings of God that are even better.
