I check my Facebook account a few times a day as I do my email and a thought came to mind, “when was the last time any of these folks gave a status update to God.” Yes we check FB to see what is going on in people’s lives it makes us feel connected to people we haven’t seen in ages doesn’t it? Yet many of us ignore God and haven’t given him a status update on our lives in days, months or even years. God wants us to stay connected and many times our theological mindset is that we need to close ourselves off from the world, kneel down and pray in order to give God a worthy status update.

HOWEVER, I believe that God would love status updates just like we give status updates to our Facebook friends…

“Hey God was on my mind today and I thought he’s been so good to me, Thank you Daddy God.

“Wow, God you just blew my mind with that miracle of a bonus at my job. I love you”

“I need you right now. I don’t think I can make it out of this one without your help God. I need you to protect me from my enemies and let your justice roll Lord.”

I am not saying that you have to close down your account on Facebook but I do think you need to reflect if you need to open up a line of communication with your Maker. God is way better than the creator of Facebook, He can give you way better advice than an FB friend can and He surely will be your best cheerleader. So tell me when was your last status update to God…if its been a while, he wants to know “what’s on your mind?” just like the little Facebook box does.
