She began typing, "Where is the best place or area to rent an apartment?" Answers popped up instantly, and she became confused.
Next, she typed, "As much as I need money, should I follow my heart or struggle through what I think God might be telling me?" Again, answers poured in, with AI offering suggestions too, alongside the search engine.
Finally, she typed, "There's this guy I really admire—like, strongly admire. Do you think it's just me, or, as a Christian, could there be more to it, you know, that it might just be God?"
At this point, the Holy Spirit sighed...
Dear You,
When was the last time you went to God for clarity for those situations you just couldn’t understand?
When last did you seek His counsel before making that decision?
When life gets tangled, is God still your go-to or have Opera Mini, Chrome, Firefox, ChatGPT, and the rest taken His place?
How did we get here? To the point where the internet has become our ‘Holy Spirit?'
I’m not against going to the internet or using AI tools for help. I’ve benefited from both, and I’m still benefiting. The real issue is where to draw the line. Too often, we make these tools our first go-to because we don’t want to go through “the stress”—in quotes—of praying.
When did prayer become a burden? With all the challenges of life, talking to God has become a burden?
When prayer becomes a burden, it means that something has definitely gone very wrong. Run back to God if this describes your state, let Him help you and sort things out in your life.
Are you a Christian? Then let God be your first point of call. Let Him guide and counsel you. Let His Word be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path at all times.
The internet cannot and will never do; it can never replace the wisdom of God in a person’s life.
It’s time to pause.
To return.
To seek Him first.
Psalms 107:7 - And he led them forth by the right way...
Psalms 32:8 - I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
God bless you.
