Where Is Your Mind?
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
Matthew 22:37
Facebook announced it is funding research on a project
to read the human mind, a machine that
can pick up your
thoughts directly from your neurons and translate them
to words. The aim, said the company, is
to allow us to
control our digital
devices by the power of thought.
Everything about that is troubling. But use this news to examine
yourself. If someone can pick up and translate your thoughts to
words, how many of the words would be Scripture? Would your
sinister eavesdropper hear the Gospel circulating through your
thoughts? Would they hear “Let not your heart be troubled, God
is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, We
know that all things work together for good, For God so loved
the world, Trust in the Lord with all your heart” (John 14:1;
Psalm 46:1; Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Proverbs 3:5)?
When we become Christians, the truth of God should
be utmost in our thoughts as we love Him with all
our
mind. One way of measuring that is how often Scripture
is cycling through our thoughts, leading us to praise
and adoration.
