The automated backup system. A must-have in today's world. So must-have, that it is foolish to risk not having your computer, your phone, and anything else not on some sort of automated backup system, especially where your most important data is concerned. There is security that comes from knowing that no matter what may happen to your primary devices, there is something there to protect you from the consequences of losing your primary device.
As I have become more and more reliant on my phone and my computer over the past few years, I have redoubled my backup efforts. So, last week when my phone crashed, I didn't give it a second thought, for I knew I had backed it up weekly for almost 2 years. Long story short - the backup file was corrupted, and I lost some valuable data with little hope of getting it back.
Moral of the story: Yeah, it's just some data that in the big scheme of things isn't that big a deal. However, it did get me to thinking about in what do I really put my trust. It may have become cliché in many people's mind, but its at the core of who we are - NOTHING will provide the reliability or security of life in Christ.
Money, fame, power, family, friends, backups for electronics - all of that will eventually wash away. Christ's love, however, is eternal.
See you Sunday!
