...The lastest buzz on the internet.  Recently I went online to see what all of the hubbub was about.  Millions already are communicating to one another on moment by moment basis as to what they are doing in 140 characters or less.  This can be done on computers or telephones and is based on the assumption that other people care about the trivial things that you do in your life.

It's a way to stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

I got to thinking what God would be twittering (technically called "tweeting") if He decided to let us specifically know what He was doing or thinking about.  Since God ins't chronological does that mean He would be thinking about Adam and Eve at a moment in time?  Or would He be sending angels to encourage the believers still around at the time of Armageddon?  I must admit it was overwhelming and beyond my little brain to embrace but I endured for a while just imagining.

After a bit of comtemplation I am postitive that God would be "tweeting" about the lost.  I'm absolutely sure He would be setting circumstances and sending angels to reveal His love to people not yet in the Kingdom.  Not only would He be taking care of all of His children but He would be doing everything possible to salvage even one more before Christ returns.

If only we could be so concerned with a lost world that our "twitter" would be filled with the efforts to live, tell and communicate the love of God.  With summer soon to be consuming us don't forget to be concerned with what would be on God's heart.  "For God so loved the world..."
