Lessons From Technology – Folder Structure

Given February 2008

People who use computers are familiar with files and folders.  Computer folders are like file folders in file cabinets, a place to store items organized in a structure where they can be easily found.  There can be folders inside folders which are inside other folders…on and on.  When you look at a computer folder or file cabinet, you don’t really know what all is inside.

Imagine a “God” folder. You see a little plus sign next to it indicating there are other folders inside.  Some people never “click” on the plus sign to see what else is in there.  There’s also “Jesus” and “Holy Spirit” folders with plus signs.  You open the Jesus folder and see Salvation, Blessings, Healing, Provision, Mercy, Grace, etc. all with plus signs.  As John Bevere says on our Wednesday nights DVD curriculum “Are you seeing this?”.  Inside every folder are other folders and files of the good things God has for us; an infinite number of things, and most people, Christians included,  never expand the folder structure to see what is there.

“For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.” Romans 11:36.  The Bible, prayer, and fellowship with God’s people is where you will find the folders with the plus signs.  Go there and “click” and keep on clicking to see the wonders God has for us all.
