The spiritual Google Home

Google has many fascinating products. This search giant has not only made it easy for us to attain info via searching their search engine, but also they have created a device called Google Home. This device is so intelligent. It is so wise, and by voice command you can ask it any question that comes to mind and it will give you an accurate answer. Google Home has such a deft of information at its disposal in its database, that you do not have to go seeking, looking, digging yourself. All you have to do is ask.

Can you imagine a child that is brought up in a home where Google Home is the go to. That child will always ask. Inquisitive mind yes, but the child does not have to lift a finger. Where is the Amazon? Google Home will tell you. How many planets are there? Google Home will tell you. Who was the first man on the moon? Google Home will tell you.

This could take us through this life. Make life easier and more interesting. Give us inundated information for our consumption and use. But this will not get us there spiritually. We can’t rely on Google Home to grow us spiritually, since the spiritual is a thing of the heart – not head knowledge. Google Home will not get me into heaven. It will not make me more hungry for God. Of course there is a spiritual Google Home. He is called the Holy Spirit. He is not there for you to use as an information box. He is there to lead us and guide us, and to show us the Father. He corrects and equips us for our Christian life here on earth.

Many people want a Spiritual Google Home. But the natural Google Home is subservient to you. It waits for your command. That was the design. The Holy Spirit is no subservient; He is not waiting for your command. He wants you to ask Him about the heart of God. He wants you to follow Him. He will ONLY tell you the will of God. He has no personal will. He has no personal agenda. He has no personal intention. It is all about the Father. All about the things of the Spirit. It is all about the Father’s heart. The natural Google Home does not care the state of its environment – if holy or unholy. The Holy Spirit CARES. He loves holiness because He is Holy. He cares about our state. He cares about the words we speak. He cares about our emotional state. He cares if we fight and argue in our homes. He cares if we pray. He cares if we read the scriptures. He cares if we are honest. He cares if we are troublemakers! Yes, He is breathing. He is alive! He is such a wonderful Holy Spirit. I cannot do or be without Him. And yet He has a deft of information. He wants to give us this information. This information is not for our head. It is to fine tune and refine us. It is to mold us. It is to mature us. It is to correct us. It is to make us more like Him. Yes, more like Jesus Christ.
