“They said, ‘Whenever we are faced with any calamity such as war, plague, or famine, we can come to stand in your presence before this Temple where your name is honored. We can cry out to you to save us, and you will hear us and rescue us.’”
Yesterday’s TechCrunch covered the new irobot and Cisco In-the-office-out-of-the office-work-from-home-telepresence-robot-thing. We’ve seen these things in the GE ads where the robot-thing can allow the sick children to attend school, even though they are home or hospital bound. But, this puts a whole new spin on things. Are we getting closer and closer to the autonomous worker? My friend Fred says, “You must be present to win”. Is this being present? What will Marissa Mayer do with this? What is clear is that our ability to be where we are, even when we are not, is getting more and more technologically advanced. We need to monitor, experiment and see what works in our environment, and then judge. But, one thing is for certain, we must try what is new and not ignore the future as it rolls through our front door. The generation behind us is watching to see where we will land as it relates to where and how they will work.

Where two or more of us are gathered, He will be with us also. When I first saw the picture above, I was struck by how God is with us in our work as well and if we could have him present like this iRobot, all the time, how cool would that be. But, see that is the promise and blessing we have. He is and all we have to do is invite Him along. If in all that we know and believe about what God can do for us, then why do we ignore Him and leave Him out of our work? Ask God to inhabit your cubicle today and to be present with you at all times. He will. God has shown through the generations how faithful He is and how He like to work on the big problems and challenges that only He can fix. Bring Him along and watch what He does. It’s how He works!
