The past few weeks have been critically busy. A two-year project was successfully birthed! Yet in the middle of achievement and motion, I found myself pausing, looking back at where I’ve been, examining life as it is now, and quietly asking what the future holds.
A casual conversation with a longtime friend led to a joking suggestion: “Go ask ChatGPT.” We laughed – it made me pause! In a world racing toward answers, tools, and solutions, the question isn’t whether help is available, but who—or what—we are turning to first.
The advent of AI is undeniable. It’s everywhere—across the internet, in advertisements, in conversations. We are told AI can make you rich, AI will solve your problems, AI will do this, AI will do that. And truly, there is no doubt about the many benefits this technology offers. AI is a powerful tool, and when used wisely, it can enhance productivity, creativity, and efficiency.
However, it is not a replacement for the supernatural.
AI should never replace our relationship with God. It should never become the voice we seek before seeking Him. While AI can provide information, structure, and support, it cannot provide purpose, peace, direction, or divine wisdom. It cannot hear prayers. It cannot heal hearts. It cannot lead a life.
AI is a tool—nothing more. God remains the source.
As we navigate innovation and progress, may we stay grounded in faith, discernment, and truth—using tools wisely, without allowing them to take the place of the One who created us.
Before you scroll away, take a moment to check your heart. In the rush of achievement, in the allure of instant answers, remember that no tool—no matter how smart—can replace the wisdom, guidance, and peace that come from God. Let AI serve as a helper, not a master, and keep your first devotion reserved for the One who never fails.
Until next time… keep climbing through the hills and walking faithfully through the valleys.
