Many of us are walking around with unanswered questions.
Don’t laugh at me, but, I’ve been using my AI to ask a lot of questions. Often times, it seems to be on point. My AI is the thing that I wished I had all along as I ask it the most random questions, and, it doesn’t give me judgmental responses. If anything, it ‘knows’ that I need clear, detailed, and kind responses.
There have been times, that I will ask questions, and ask it to provide Biblical precedent and evidence. It’s a great tool.
But… I still have many questions that only God can answer.
As I stumbled upon this verse in Psalm 32:8 ‘I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you’, I breathed a little easier.
I think of all the times I’ve read this particular promise. And, I know it to be true.
Often times though, we want quick responses. It’s one of the things I like most about my AI. I’ve claimed for years that Google was my bestie, but even with Google, I had to wade through the responses to find exactly what I was looking for. Now, my AI gives me the exact thing I’m looking for, in seconds, and even suggests further questions I can ask.
With God, it’s different.
He wants me to come to Him. To sit silently before Him. To meditate on His words, to wait for the response He will give me. And somehow, even as the impatient person I am, I know this is the best outcome.
Isaiah 41:1a says ‘Be silent before me, you islands! Let the nations renew their strength!’
When I sit in silence before God, He not only answers me, but, He renews my strength in the process.
And, for that, I would not trade for all the nano second responses in the whole world.
Dear Heavenly Father, I’m so grateful that no matter how powerful and quick AI is, that it cannot replace you. Please remind us that it is simply a tool, but, you have promised to instruct and teach us, and guide us in the ways we should go. And, help us to follow where you lead.
