From my journal this morning:
Sometimes, I think I think I should do certain things because I’ve done them before and I was good at them. And, quite honestly, I also think that because I SEE them on my phone…it simply reinforces the thought.
I remember a few years ago, I had a very simple dream. In it, I was sitting in a chair and a man walked up to me who had a “prophetic word”. This was all he said:
“You won’t find Him on your phone.”
That was it.
Well, duh. I know that.
BUT.
How often has being ON my phone taken me away from being WITH him.
How often have I scrolled and searched and watched what others are doing instead of watching what He is doing.
How often have I compared or felt like I’m not “doing enough” because of seeing the things others are doing.
How often have I gotten in my head and out of my spirit because of the pull of comparison.
How often have I turned to scrolling because of boredom instead of turning to Him.
You get the point.
In a world where we now can see all, hear a ton, and have instant access to more and more and more…we have to become more and more and more vigilant to seek less.
It’s warfare. It’s wisdom.
And let’s not forget…we have that kind of access to Him. Wonder how much more we’d see and hear from Him if we eliminated (at least reduced) input from the world?!
If you need me today, you won’t find me on my phone:)

I do get some good things on my phone though, like inciteful words from you, along with several podcasts that I follow. I do need to put it down much of the time too ❤️
This same topic has been in my head for the past month! It’s sad to admit just how much time we spend with our phones.
