How Valuable Is Your Phone?

What’s your most treasured possession?

Wallet Hub conducted an online iPhone survey of 800 respondents. They wanted to get an idea of what the public was thinking prior to the release of the newest iPhone. With so many Americans still not working, and credit card debt hovering around $900 billion, would people be willing to spend $1,000 on a new phone?

• Well, 1 in 3 plan to get the new iPhone this year.  

• 1 in 5 think it’s worth going into debt for

• 2 in 5 say their phone is their most important possession during the pandemic. 

Wow! My cell phone is certainly a valuable tool. It holds my contacts, my calendar, and a copy of my MOST treasured possession – the Bible. Now I listen to it every morning. When I can’t go to sleep, or awaken in the middle of the night, I’ll get up, turn on the Bible and listen until comforted back to sleep. Listen to what David wrote in Psalm 19:

“The law of the Lord is perfect,
    reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
    making wise the simple;

 the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
    enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean,
    enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are true,
    and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold,
    even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
    and drippings of the honeycomb.
 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    in keeping them there is great reward.” (Psalm 19: 7-11) Yes! Great reward!
