Bible Passage: “…you must worship Christ as Lord of your life.” (1 Peter 3:15 NLT)
Scripture Reading: Proverbs 8:1-36; Luke 6:43-49
It doesn’t feel all that long ago that I bought my first computer and set up dial-up internet.
Those in my generation still remember the electronic tantrum of screeches and groans from first-generation modems before they suddenly hushed to deliver the internet.
Our children are digital natives, while my generation struggles to keep up. But things are not slowing down; they are accelerating.
So how does a man keep Christ as Lord in a digital world?
Peter wrote to Christians scattered throughout Asia Minor, encouraging them amid the challenges of persecution and suffering for their faith. His recipients didn’t live in a digital world, but they faced a difficult one.
His challenge was simple yet profound:
“…you must worship Christ as Lord of your life.”
Saying “Jesus is Lord” was especially meaningful when contrasted with the Roman claim “Caesar is Lord,” which demanded loyalty, worship, and allegiance for Caesar, positioning him as the highest authority in all aspects of life.
When early Christians proclaimed “Jesus is Lord,” they made a bold, countercultural statement that affirmed His divine lordship over salvation, life, and eternity.
It was both a theological truth and a courageous political statement, declaring Christ’s authority over all human powers and inviting believers to live under His reign.
It remains a bold declaration over our lives today—including our digital lives.
Scripture personifies Jesus as divine wisdom. 1 Corinthians 1:24 and v. 30 call Christ “the wisdom of God.” Proverbs 8 personifies wisdom as a figure present with God at creation, and Christian tradition understands this as a foreshadowing of Christ’s divine wisdom.
To invite Christ’s lordship is to invite His wisdom to rule every aspect of our lives, including our digital lives.
In this age of information, we need more wisdom and discernment than ever.
The modern man does not need more digital workarounds; he needs divine guidance.
You may not be a tech geek or digital expert. Still, we all need the Lord’s wisdom to navigate the future.
The goal is not to make you a Luddite (someone who rejects all technology). It is to surrender our lives to Christ’s lordship and wisdom.
This week, we will turn to Scripture to examine ancient advice for our modern times. The good news is that when men lack wisdom, even in the age of information, God offers to give wisdom generously (James 1:5).
Prayer: Father, thank You for offering greater wisdom than the world, technology, or Artificial Intelligence can ever provide. You are the wisdom I seek. Today, I declare You Lord of every part of my life. Amen.
Reflection: How much time each day do you spend online on social media compared with time in God’s presence? Who are the voices shaping your thinking, and are they louder than the voice of wisdom?
