What I know about the computer I have figured out through trial and error. I am from the generation which is NOT intuitively computer savvy. I have learned a great deal over the years, but most of it the hard way.
Every time I make a new discovery on the computer I can literally feel the light come on as I realize how many applications one little key stroke or tool can have.
But the best one ever is control-z.
Undo.
I don't like how that looks?
Control-z.
I accidentally highlighted and then erased an entire paragraph?
Control-z.
I completely messed up this freecell game?
Control-z. Control-z. Control-z.
Today I am wishing for a life control-z button.
Or a do-over.
Or a backsies.
But life in this world with people and stuff and mess and mistakes and sin does not have a convenient button to undo the stuff we mess up.
Thankfully God says:
You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away;
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
How amazing.
God does not require for us to figure it all out.
He looks at us in the midst of our sinfulness, sorrow, and pain and He. Holds. Us.
And today I need to be held.
I cannot undo what has been done, but I can lay down in the palm of my Father's hand and watch Him help me.
I am so glad I don't have to figure this one out.
