Subject: When is the time to use technology Ecc 6 |
Bible Note: Ecc 3:1 says, "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven." Since technology is a thing and using it would be an event, we could conclude that there is a time for technology. As far as Ecc 6 goes, I'm at a loss to connect the dots for you! Verse 9 in the Amplified says, "Better is the sight of the eyes [the enjoyment of what is available to one] than the cravings of wandering desire. This is also vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility) and a striving after the wind and a feeding on it!" I guess we could conclude that what God has given you to use,(technology) it is better to use it than to wish for something you don't have. Also consider verse 7 which in the Amplified says, "All the labor of man is for his mouth [for self-preservation and enjoyment], and yet his desire is not satisfied." Technology, even when used appropriately is never a substitute for a personal relationship with God. You can interact on this Forum (using technology) and learn much about God and His Word, but if you neglect personal time with Him in prayer and devotional activities, all of your technological pusuits amount to nothing more than "chasing after the wind!" Sounds to me like this was a homework question for a religion class. If I haven't hit the mark, re-post your question and someone else may tackle it for you. Blessings on your study! mommapbs |
