day 2174: Walking Speed

 “Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.”

Anyone who has been around software and computer hardware knows that Moore’s law has been a foundation for many a company’s strategy and venture capital investment decisions.  And to date, Moore’s law has held up.  Hard to believe it can forever, but we will see.  Tim Cross wrote in The Guardian this:  “Everyone knows that modern computers are better than old ones. But it is hard to convey just how much better, for no other consumer technology has improved at anything approaching a similar pace. The standard analogy is with cars: if the car from 1971 had improved at the same rate as computer chips, then by 2015 new models would have had top speeds of about 420 million miles per hour. That is roughly two-thirds the speed of light, or fast enough to drive round the world in less than a fifth of a second. If that is still too slow, then before the end of 2017 models that can go twice as fast again will begin arriving in showrooms.” So, Moore’s law doesn’t apply to all of us, but if technology continues to move at this speed it will be interesting to see what the rest of the world will need to do to keep up.

Does God move faster that He once did?  I think its very cool that He meets us right where we are.  So, if we are moving at break neck speed, He will be there to slow us down and make sure that if we slip out of control that He will catch us.  And, if we are moving at Dial-up speed He walks right with us and waits on us.  Today we will have to sometimes go fast, other times by necessity, have to slow way down.  Regardless, He will be standing right next to us, waiting for the invite to come along.
