What if you had a supercomputer for your own use? Think of the number of kitty pictures and videos you could store on it. If your playing a video game there would be no waiting or buffering before you could start that game of Pong. Everything and anything you ever hoped for in a computer would be right there for your use.
But what if no one programmed it before you got it? No operating system, no graphics program, no anything except a blank empty memory on your supercomputer. That wonderfully made supercomputer would be just one large paperweight, useful for nothing.
Your brain also would be worthless without someone programming it. Your heart wouldn't beat, your lungs would never breathe. Every organ in your body would just sit there with no knowledge of what to do. Your body needs to have information sent to each organ, gland, nerve, and muscle in order to function.
A programmer is necessary to input the proper programs into your brain so that your body will function properly. That program is so fast, intricate and multitasking that only a master programmer could ever come close to accomplishing such a marvelous work.
God is not some old man who doesn't know how the computer age works. He invented the greatest computers and perfectly programmed them at the beginning of time. Birds can fly because he programmed them too. Monarch butterflies after many generations fly back to the same places in the south because God programmed them too.
There is just one problem with your programming. The Sin Virus is constantly trying to destroy God's programming. Every time we sin, the virus is eating away at the perfect program God created within you. Sin is the destroyer of the mind. Sin will slowly consume the mind unless we seek the programmer to restore our programming and renew our minds.
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable perfect will of God." Romans 12:2
