Hack life with God

Hack life with God
 In my youth, I was what was called a gray hat hacker. I focused on what was right not what might be legal. I was thinking today about what it means to hack something the dictionary says “to cut with rough or heavy blows.” The big thing today is life hacks which are “A tool or technique that makes some aspect of one's life easier or more efficient.” Here are just a few life hacks http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/100-life-hacks-that-make-life-easier.html 
God puts all the tools we need to hack life in our hands. We can hack through all of the things that bring us down. We can hack through the sins that become barriers in our lives. 
There were several books used by hackers in my days the green book, orange book, pink book, the devils book Unix Bible, dragon book and the red book just to name a few. When we Hack Life there are also some books that we rely on.  The first and most important book is the bible then comes another book such as devotionals, worship books, and many other Christian writings. One of the most valuable tools I found as a hacker had a partner to work with, learn with, and to know had my back. God provided us with a reliable partner in his son Jesus, a partner that is always there and will never fail. There has always been a support community of hackers helping hackers and sharing what they have learned. God has put in place the same network for us when we hack life. We have the Christian community. Where we come together and share what we have learned about hacking life with each other and encouraging each other to become the best Life hackers we can be.  “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." (Mat 18:20 ESV).
