Mind Readers by David Jeremiah

Mind Readers  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Matthew 22:37 Facebook announced it is funding research on a project to read the human mind—a machine that can pick up your thoughts directly from your neurons and translate them into words. The aim, said the company, is to allow us to control our digital devices by the power of thought.

Recommended Reading: Matthew 22:34-36

Everything about that is troubling. But use this news to examine yourself. If someone could pick up and translate your thoughts into words, how many of those words would be Scripture? Would your sinister eavesdropper hear the Gospel circulating through your thoughts? Would they hear “Let not your heart be troubled…. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble…. We know that all things work together for good…. For God so loved the world…. Trust in the Lord with all your heart” (John 14:1; Psalm 46:1; Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Proverbs 3:5)? When we become Christians, the truth of God should be utmost in our thoughts as we love Him with all our mind. One way of measuring that is how often Scripture is cycling through our thoughts, leading us to praise and adoration.
