“All who are familiar with satnav technology are well aware that there is usually an optimal route for reaching a particular destination. If we choose to ignore the directions and deviate from the ideal route, it doesn’t switch itself off in disgust but recalculates the journey to find the new route, starting from our current location. In the same way, God doesn’t write us off or force us out of the driving seat when, ignoring him, we steer our own way through life. He takes us on from where we are.”

“And God’s ultimate purpose for us, which is also unchanging, is that his divine nature might be recreated within us. To this end he desires to draw us ever closer to his Son. For those who are already Christians we call this movement “sanctification”; for non-Christians we may call it “mission”. But the direction is the same, ever Christward.”

“An unmoving watch may have its place in a timeless universe, but it is all but useless in a world where the seconds tick by. In the same way, we might rightly question what comfort there would be in journeying through life with a God who is continually unable or unwilling to respond, in real time, to the desires expressed in our prayers. God in his power could have chosen to relate to us in such a way, but his love has embraced a different path.”
