every generation the nisyonos from Hashem only get harder. each generation according to its level. today we are holding in the generation of technology. where the tumah of internet, & cell phones in shul distract a person & remove him from his relationship with Hashem.
Our job is to pass these tests from Hashem & each test a person passes brings him closer to Hashem & raises him to be ready for the next higher level test to get even closer to Hashem.
one fact that every jew knows (even the reform) is that if a person couldnt pass the test then Hashem wouldnt put him in that nisayon, so noone could ever ask Hashem why is this….(fill in your hard situation test of faith in Hashem) happening to me?
i am fortunate & so grateful to Hashem to still only have a flip phone & when i am on the web to only use it for my email & news & Maybe sometimes to buy something.
stay away from all your yetzer haras of the tumahs that the internet has & “GET WHAT YOU NEED NOT WHAT YOU WANT”
any person can go out to eat once a week or go on a vacation etc… BUT to go out to eat just to have a desired steak is called crazy.
