Sony’s Blu-Ray Decision: Forging our own Armor

Sony’s decision to chart their own course with a proprietary media format, the Blu-Ray disc, was a choice that carried a lot of risk… they invested heavily into the technology to redefine how data was purchased and stored for both games and movies after finding that the disc and cartridge based solutions from other companies simply wasn’t sufficient for them. While it would’ve been much easier and cheaper to adopt another company’s format as their own, it also would’ve limited their ability to grow both the size and the quality of their games… and because they didn’t simply copy off of someone else’s paper, Blu-Ray became the dominant format in the industry.

We cannot simply inherit our belief system from someone else and believe that a meaningful relationship with the Lord will come from it… the Lord is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him out for themselves, growing and developing our faith in Him through our own personal prayer life and intentional study of His words. While He certainly gives us spiritual mentors in the forms of pastors, teachers, and more to guide us, we are each called to build our own unbreakable bond and invest into it daily. We can’t win our unique battles in life by borrowing someone else’s armor… let’s forge our own and face today with the God we know personally by our side.

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Acts 19:13-16
