Upgrade your computer

Think a minute…You know that a brand new computer today will be outdated and old in just a few months. I recently replaced my 7-year old computer when my friends told me I was using a horse to race against rockets.

To compete and succeed in this world we have to keep up with the technology, which means continually upgrading our computer.

Yet none of these impressive inventions comes even close to the power of the human mind. In fact, our mind’s computer already has all the upgrades we’ll ever need.

So since we’re the ones who control the world’s most powerful computer, we must keep learning and upgrading it every day. Someone said: “Your mind is like a parachute—it’s not much good unless it’s open.” And if we want to change our life, we have to change our mind first.

Computers, however, can also be dangerous. That’s why we need an anti-virus program to protect our computer from viruses that can infect and damage it. These protective programs even update themselves regularly against new viruses that can attack.

So since we go to all that trouble for a machine that’s so quickly outdated and useless, how much more important is it to protect the computer of our own mind!

Everyday we face dangerous, deadly viruses like pornography and sex outside of marriage, temptations to lie or steal, commit suicide, gossip, lose our temper, and other kinds of wrong thinking that can ruin our character, our marriage and children, our job, our whole life.

That’s why we’ve got to be careful what we allow to come into our mind. “Garbage in, garbage out.” So every day, we need a good brain-washing. And no one’s more qualified to keep our mind clean than God our Maker.

That’s why He gave us the Bible as our manual for life, to show us how to maintain and keep improving our mind. The Bible is your own anti-virus program to protect your mind from wrong thinking that can destroy you.

You see, God knows that the person who doesn’t control his thoughts will lose control of his life. So why don’t you decide to spend some time every day reading your Bible and talking with God? Get involved in a Bible-teaching church.

It will raise your level of thinking and living, and protect you from all the dangerous viruses that threaten your mind every day. Just Think a Minute…
