Life changes but the Bible doesn’t
I’m old enough to remember how it was to NOT have GPS or cell phones as we navigated the streets. If I wanted to go somewhere unknown I needed written out instructions. I vividly remember turning down the radio in order to see the numbers of the houses… not sure why that worked, but it always did. When the instructions were incomplete or mistakenly written down, I was lost. I would often feel that moment of panic, anxiety, and I broke down many times crying in despair. We live in a world of panic, anxiety, and multiple crying spells. Life isn’t always predictable and it doesn’t always seem possible to turn down the noise in order to see the future ahead of us.
