No Robotic Spiritual Growth
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. 2 Peter 3:18 CSB
I grew up watching The Jetsons cartoon with George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, Astro, and a host of other characters like Mr. Spacely. And who could forget the robotic maid named Rosie?
Well, if you wanted to have your own robotic maid, the day has arrived. It’s not just a cartoon concept any longer. Meet Neo, your humanoid robot. Standing just 5 feet, 6 inches tall, and costing $20,000, you too can have a robot that does your household chores. And it’s available in various colors as pictured above!
While help around the house would certainly be nice, there are some things that robots, computers, and AI will never be able to do for you. A robot cannot pray for you, study the Bible for you, or grow in your relationship with Jesus. If those important things are ever going to happen, you’ll have to be the one doing them.
And they are not a chore, but a privilege!
As this year winds down, it’s a good time to take a look at what adjustments need to be made in your spiritual growth plan.
Don’t have a spiritual growth plan?
Then that’s all the more reason to pause and assess next steps to grow in your faith.*
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the privilege of knowing You. Help me today to grow in my faith, deepen my relationship with You, and to become more like Your Son, the Lord Jesus. Please help me to prioritize my time so that I can spend more time with You in Bible study and prayer. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
