Turns out that some of the folks coming to the retreat center for the weekend didn’t know exactly where they were going. (I guess they are non-map people. I just looked it up on the map–really Mapquest–and drove right to it.) More accurately, they are techno-people. They used the dashboard GPS system to find their way. Only one problem–the backroads they needed were not programmed into their system.
The process they described was one of go a little ways and then punch in the destination again. Reminds me of how the Christian life is lived. While we can see the ultimate goal, the way we should go from day to day is sometimes not all that clear. So we have to renew the directions. I hope you get the point–I need to spend some time with God in prayer, and work on my daily Bible reading for today.
