Month: October 2025

I have always had a desire for true humility. I don’t have it, and I’m not even sure what it looks like. But I think I found out the other day what it feels like.

I was playing the MarioKart video game with my four year old grandson. It’s a car race where you and the other player compete against ten computer-generated cars. Despite being such a little tot, my grandson is amazingly good at this game. On this occasion he finished first. Meanwhile I crashed a few times, and got really frustrated when other virtual drivers were hitting me with fireballs and bombs. I came in last, and threw down the remote control in disgust. “Take it easy grampa”, my four year old said. “It’s only a game.”

Now that was humbling.

I had my annual eye exam the other day. I’ve always been quite near-sighted. It’s amazing to me that a certain lens in front of your eyes, be it glasses or contacts, can completely correct your faulty vision, or at least bring vast improvement. One instant the whole world is a blur, put on your glasses, you see sharply and clearly.

The Bible can do that for your life. Morality and values are a moving target these days. The line between what is right and what is wrong can get blurry as well. God wants you to have 20-20 vision when it comes to your eternal future.

His word can be your eye chart.

Unless you never use the internet for anything, chances are your phone number and email address are out there. They are being sold to businesses who will contact you relentlessly in an attempt to sell you something. Some may even try to scam you out of your savings.

Privacy is hard to find these days. Security cameras, drones and artificial intelligence are tracking your locations, your purchases, even the TV programs you watch. It’s more important than ever to be careful about who you trust.

Thankfully, there is one you know you can always put your faith in.
