"Technology passed me by; I can't keep up anymore."
How it sounds in your head: Everything's digital now and you're constantly confused. Younger people navigate it effortlessly while you struggle with basics. You're becoming the person who needs tech support for everything. You're a dinosaur in a digital world.
"And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship."
-- Exodus 31:3Cultural acceleration designed to overwhelm and sideline wisdom carriers through artificially created incompetence.
Apps update constantly, you don't understand half of what your kids talk about, and you've had to ask for help with technology multiple times. The learning curve feels steeper every year and you're exhausted trying to keep up.
Solomon asked for wisdom and God gave him instant understanding surpassing everyone before or after. He became expert in subjects he never studied—botany, zoology, governance—because God GAVE the knowledge supernaturally.
I REFUSE the lie that changing technology disqualifies me. IT IS WRITTEN that God fills with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge in ALL MANNER of work—including whatever tools THIS era requires. I am not technologically incompetent; I am selectively focused on what matters for MY assignment. The Spirit of God who taught craftsmen to build the tabernacle teaches me what I need WHEN I need it. IT IS WRITTEN: 'If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally' (James 1:5). I receive INSTANT downloads of understanding. What took others years to learn, God teaches me in MOMENTS.
The Father isn't measuring your worth by how many apps you master. He's celebrating that you focus on PEOPLE while others stare at screens. He's running toward you saying 'You carry something technology can never replace—PRESENCE, wisdom, and the ability to see people's hearts. That's infinitely more valuable.'
