It’s interesting that Verizon uses the term “Rule the Air” and has an outline of the world with the radio tower on top. I know that it’s a commercial and has a very catchy ring to it but to me, there’s a subliminal message. I liked the “Can you hear me now?” ad. It put Verizon on the map, maybe on top. But, whenever I hear “Rule the Air”, I think of the Biblical meaning. As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient (Ephesians 2:2). Yes, we have conformed to the ways of this world, mostly to be accepted. I don’t think we “Christians” can handle persecution well. Besides, its tough doing the right thing, isn’t it? Look around, whenever someone wants to help another, they’re called a socialist or a do-gooder. These are considered bad labels. I’m digressing; let’s get back to ruling the air. We don’t even realize that through modern technology, we are becoming brainwashed and controlled. We want the latest gizmos to keep us on top of the game. Yet, recently, it has become known that many of these smart phones are keeping track on us! The cell phone towers signals map our locations but provide real improved functionality. I refer back to the cell phone tower on top of the world in the logo. Remember, I’m giving my own opinion, but so many opinions have been given on so many topics that people have taken them at face value rather than doing an in-depth study on the facts. The bottom line is this! Satan is running rampant in this world doing all that he can to cause us to fall away from God. Whatever it takes to distract us from good and kindness, whenever we can hide behind these monitors and screens to spew our hatred towards others, we are doing what the deceiver wants. Modern technology, progression is helping man, some of us are using it to take advantage of others. I personally, question this connection.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
