Another “Geek Views on God” Moment

Dear Lord; Good evening Father!

Well Lord, today I had another one of those “geek views on God” moments.

We were installing a new server at a client’s site today, and were having some problems joining a couple workstation PCs to the freshly created domain (I know, I know… geeky stuff.  I’ll keep this part brief).  It’s a reasonably new client and site for us, so after some tests and investigation we realized that there was another legacy machine on the network that was improperly trying to “run the show” and causing conflicts with the new system.  In effect, the new computers were trying to obey orders from more than one “boss”, which in effect rendered them non-functional.

Hmmm… Kind of like trying to follow our earthly wants and You at the same time…

The situation today reminded me of an excellent point I’ve seen on several other blogs recently; We have one Boss, one Father, one “Domain Controller” that we need to take our direction from.  If we allow ourselves to heed the calls of other earthly “masters” instead, we become spiritually non-functional.

“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”” – Matthew 16:24 (NIV)

I love seeing Your Lessons in my life each day Father.  🙂

Amen.
