Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.
It seems like I’ve always lived a long way from family. There have been times when they were close, but long periods of time go by when they are far away. Technology has virtually shortened the distance, but it’s not the same as being there. There’s just something about being face-to-face, feeling a warm embrace, experiencing a loved one up close and personal. Listen to Psalm 27:4: “One thing have I desired from the Lord, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.” Now that is up close and personal.

Consider this: from the creation of the world until the industrial revolution, mankind moved about on foot, by animals, or by wind power. Only within the last two hundred years have we seen people speeding down the road at seventy miles an hour, and even traveling through space! And this: until the 20th century, man has been pushing a pencil to make calculations, but now does so by computers. In fact, that device called a smartphone has more storage capacity than a room full of computers in the 1960’s.
The Bible predicted all this 2500 years ago. God said to Daniel in 12:4, “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the times of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Just something to think about today.
