All who are familiar with satnav technology are well aware that there is usually an optimal route for reaching a particular destination. If we choose to ignore the directions and deviate from the ideal route, it doesn’t switch itself off in disgust but recalculates the journey to find the new route, starting from our current location. In the same way, God doesn’t write us off or force us out of the driving seat when, ignoring him, we steer our own way through life. He takes us on from where we are.
