It happened again.
That familiar moment of panic.
Phone gone. Vanished. Translated to another dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I checked the usual suspects — the car, my purse, the kitchen counter, the bathroom, even under the sofa cushions (because phones love cozy places). Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I did what any modern woman of faith does\u2026
I went to my computer and tapped Find My iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within seconds — hallelujah! — I heard it ringing.
There it was. Safe. Found. Hiding in plain sight like it always does.
Technology can be a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I laughed at myself (again), I thought of a woman Jesus once told us about. She lost something valuable — a single coin. And she didn\u2019t shrug and move on. Scripture says she lit a lamp, swept the house, and searched carefully until she found it (Luke 15:8). And when she did? She called her neighbors and said, \u201cRejoice with me! I have found my lost coin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love that story. It reminds me that what\u2019s lost still matters.
To the woman. And to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes we lose things — phones, keys, glasses perched on our own heads. Other times, we lose more precious things — peace, hope, joy, direction. And God doesn\u2019t say, \u201cOh well.\u201d He searches. He sweeps. He shines light into dark corners of our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yes, sometimes He even uses technology to help us along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every good gift comes from Him (James 1:17) — including the wisdom to invent tools that make life easier, faster, and occasionally less frantic. God isn\u2019t anti-technology. He\u2019s pro-help. pro-finding. pro-restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So whether it\u2019s a missing phone or a weary soul, we serve a God who knows exactly where to look. He hears the moment we say, \u201cLord, I\u2019ve lost something,\u201d and He responds with light, guidance, and grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Found things lead to gratitude. And gratitude leads to joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you\u2019ll excuse me — I\u2019m putting my phone down somewhere safe. Probably. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
