What controls you owns you

What controls you owns you. Many times in our lives, we don't realize how many of the material things that we own and many of the gadgets that we use may sometimes end up being the ones that own us, controlling our time. We are not aware, at some point, that these unusually clever machines are the ones that dictate what we are to do on any given day. When we look at how life is being controlled, we are sometimes unaware that as we go about our daily lives, we are so obsessed with what our little gadgets are doing for us. Our phones cannot be taken away from us. We panic sometimes when we lose them or misplace them. There are instances when we are not aware that these devices are already controlling us. If we are looking to make use of the technology that we have and that is available to us, we must also be very careful that it doesn't control our lives. Whatever controls you owns you. This is often true even when we consider our desires; if they become an obsession, it feels as though they control us because we feel compelled to obey the impulses of our flesh, for example, and we do what we want, losing control over our own desires. This can also be something that controls us. The Bible talks about the flesh, the desires of the flesh controlling us, and whether we walk in the Spirit, fulfilling the desires of the Spirit, or when we walk in the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh. Whatever we obey, then, becomes what owns us or controls us. Do you have desires or gadgets that control you right now?
