Episode 113 - Walking the Flying Dog

Some people have pet dogs. Others have pet cats. Still others have pet hamsters, or fish, or even micro pigs. Those whose pets are of the canine variety routinely take them for walks. It has even been known for people to walk their pigs or their cats. I not quite sure how one might walk a pet fish, but I’m sure that someone somewhere has tried. I don’t have a pet. So instead, I sometimes walk my drone (nowhere near Gatwick I promise). I get many odd looks as I walk along followed by him (his name is Droney McDroneface).

Through the wonders of technology and an app on my phone, as I fly my drone I can see everything that it sees. It’s quite incredible to see how different things look from my drone above me, compared to how things look from my perspective rooted on the ground. As my drone first takes off it’s amazing to watch as the screen of my phone slowly transitions from my perspective to a whole different way of seeing things, still looking at the same things yet revealing much more. Showing paths that look promising but lead to dead ends, or hidden secrets like statues or buildings or even whole lakes that I didn’t know were there.

This is what I think things are sometimes like with God and I. He can see so much more of life than I ever can from where I am. And yet even knowing this, sometimes I am too busy with what is in my immediate eye line that I refuse change my perspective from what I can see to what God is telling me and all that He can see. In doing so, I miss finding out about upcoming dead-ends and hidden treasures.
