Don’t start your day or your optimum time of focus by scrolling through social media before turning to the Word of God. Many people “program” themselves every morning (or every evening) on bed while endlessly scrolling social feeds. These are often filled with both positive and negative content. In my opinion, social media leans more heavily toward the negative. No offense. Dangerous, but sometimes useful. Scary, but attention-grabbing. Undesirable, but hard to ignore.
That is why an old advice is still very true: “Read
with the Bible in one hand and the news in the other.” But the order
matters: God’s Word first. I suggest you don’t dive into social media
first thing in the morning or at your peak focus time. Save that for later.
Instead, feed your mind and soul with something mor
e inspiring, uplifting, and
meaningful at that hour. Begin with God’s Word. It strengthens your soul for
the rest of the day. Take a moment to be thankful for another day, blessed by
God, and use that time to listen (through His Word) and to speak (through
prayer).
Let that be your first offering of the day or the best
offering of your optimum time. As Jesus said, “Seek first His kingdom and
His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”
(Matthew 6:33). Socials later; first, the Word of God 📖
