How controlled are we by what this world has given us?

This seems like a funny idea now!  

But there is more truth than not!  

We miss so much by being glued to the device that is in our hand.  Ecclesiastes talks about "nothing new under the sun".  The Bible also talks about "the devices of the wicked".  God knew what was coming that would cause our hearts to be turned toward self-fulfillment.  Every generation a different vice or device.  It is a daily fight for me to not give in to the temptation of always being connected to everyone everywhere but where I am presently!
