New iPhone

linda@dailydevotions.com.au — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0100

This new phone has changed the way I work so much that I wonder how I ever survived without it.

Hebrews 8:1-13

Reference: v.13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. (NIV Bible)

Explore: I was recently in need of a new phone. Although I'd only had my old phone for 18 months it was already starting to show signs of wear and tear. It was becoming slower and sometimes I would press buttons and nothing would happen. I was disappointed that it hadn't lasted longer for me but it was starting to really annoy me when I wasn't able to do what I needed. When looking for a new phone my mind was immediately drawn to the iPhone. It was going to allow me to combine my phone and my diary all in one - as well as a few added extras that were nice too! I'm not really into gadgets all that much but I couldn't wait to get my new phone. I tried to wait until the very end of my old contract but with still a month to go I couldn't wait any more and went to the shops to get it. And the iPhone has not disappointed me. This new phone has changed the way I work so much that I wonder how I ever survived without it.

Application: That's often the way it is when we get something new. If we really appreciate the new item then we wonder how we lived without it. When Jesus came to earth he brought a new covenant for the people. This was a new way to live, a new way to worship and a new way to know God. We are able to live in this new covenant because Jesus paid the price for us. We don't have to feel locked into an old contract or an old way of living. Jesus has freely offered us this grace, love and an opportunity at eternal life. He has paid the price and once we accept his forgiveness we will wonder how we ever lived without it.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for paying the price and ushering in a new covenant. You have opened the way for us to personally connect with God. Thank you. Amen.

How does this new covenant - this faith through Jesus - change your life?

Free Daily Devotional App for the iPad

A few days back I wrote a post Daily Devotional for the iPad and since then I have had a few more days to try different techniquies in reading God's Word everyday. I love the YouVersion Bible app, in HD for the iPad, it makes reading different versions a breeze. You may not be aware that everyday we "contribute" to this app by linking directly to the bible text on the YouVersion site. We also we add a contributor link on that site so if people are browsing the Bible and Linda has written a devotion about that text they can see her link in the list with lots of other contributors.

Let us know how you are doing you Daily Devotions of the iPad .

Daily Devotional for the iPad

camthecameraman@hotmail.com — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Linda was generous enough to buy me an iPad for my birthday recently. This has given me the chance to try reading my Daily Devotions on this device.

I have loved the iPad's large screen and it has made my book reading a breeze. I have downloaded a few books, intelectual of course to make me look smart as I show off my new purchase, and have enjoyedreading them on this device.

I have also tried the Daily Devotional App for iPhone that we built and while it is small, like all made for iPhone apps are it is still very usable. Because of the size of the screen on the iPad just reading the normal web page was also very easy, much better than on the iPhone. I also checked out the Daily Devotions Emails in the Mail Appon the iPad, this was also a great way to read a Daily Devotional on the iPad.

In time we may look at updating the iPhone app, I would be interested though in how you are reading your Daily Devotional on the iPad.
