Most people use electronic devices
for things like homework, . . .
. . .research, . . .
. . .social networking, . . .
. . .entertainment, and more.
But if you’re not careful,
you could become
overly attached to your devices.
You could even have withdrawal symptoms
if you’re away from your devices.
This addiction could cost you your job, . . .
. . . your friends, . . .
. . . or more.
Are you addicted to your device?
The Bible says to “make sure
of the more important things.”
So ask yourself these questions:
Do I become uneasy or irritated
when I can’t use my device?
Do I keep using my device
longer than I intended to?
Am I losing sleep because I can’t stop
checking for messages?
Do my devices cause me
to neglect my family?
What would my family say?
If you answered yes to some or all
these questions, don’t give up.
It’s not too late!
Take back control!
For example, set a time limit.
Then stick to it!
When driving,
keep your devices
out of sight and reach.
Suggest that your family try
“phone-stacking” during a meal.
The first one that reaches for it
has to do the dishes.
Set aside a screen-free evening.
And keep your tech out of the bedroom.
You’ll sleep better.
The Bible says
that “two are better than one.”
Ask a trusted family member or friend
to help you make the needed changes.
At 1 Corinthians 9:25,
the Bible tells us to exercise
“self-control in all things.”
So remember,
you may live in a wired world,
but it doesn’t have to control you.
Take breaks from your devices.
You’ll be happier
and enjoy more out of life.
