Our studio camera is great! The quality is outstanding, and it can even record 4k video should we want to. When setting it up I popped in an SD memory Card I had kept for a while in a drawer. I figured it’d work no problem! But, with the best will in the world, there’s so much data our camera can hold onto while waiting to write data (video) to the memory card in it’s side.
And, as it turns out, that old memory card I reused simply was not up the task at hand because it could have data written onto it at one particular speed. But, since our camera is of good quality, it can write at a much higher speed. But, importantly, it NEEDS to write a much higher speed that our little SD card could cope with which resulted in the camera working harder than it should, getting hot and switching itself off to prevent overheating.
It was working too hard due to an inadequate memory card which, to the naked eye, looked identical.
Once I’d done a quick bit of research and installed a newer version of memory card the problems went away!
In our lives as Christians, do we find ourselves doing something similar? Do we just grab an old memory from our faith and wonder why it simply won’t do what we hoped it might – what it used to do?
As we become more like Jesus Christ; as we develop in our faith; as we mature as Christians we change. And that is the true wonder of a living Christian faith with God – that we don’t finish the same way we started! Thank God for that mercy!!
Rather than relying on old experiences (or old technology) make sure you constantly update your relationship with Jesus. Do that by spending time with God, by reading the bible, by being with other Christians and renewing your mind daily because what seemed ok to you yesterday, may well have changed.
Our memories don’t become invalid with time! But, there are always new experiences to be had with Jesus, so don’t look back only. Look at the present too and you’ll soon spot some differences!
Just a thought…
