One
of the neat computer features of recent years is the automatic update program.
Each day my computer checks the Internet for me to see if certain programs have
been improved or modified. I can then choose to have the modification added or
ignore it. In theory I have the most up-to-date information and programming code
available.
Most people have heard or experienced that computers don't
always work the way they should. Most all problems are related to mistakes someone
made in inputting commands. Sometimes even when the mistakes are corrected, other
mistakes crop up.
God has a perfect automatic update and upgrade program built
into His Software, the Bible. We are like computer hardware in the sense that
God's programming should guide what we do. His commands are perfect from the start
and don't need fixing, but we always need more of His instructions operating in
our lives.
Psalm
119:9 says that God's Word can keep us from sin. When you and I read God's
Word, the Holy Spirit can instruct us. Whereas we may not have been touched by
a passage last year, the same one may strongly influence us now. We may get a
message today that we didn't see last week. God always wants to upgrade His creation
as we read and apply His Word.
