Much of what God is doing in my life right now is a mystery. I can’t see above, below or around the path. And my lack of keen vision and comprehension leaves room for a counterfeit truth: nothing is coming, there is no plan. I am on my own.
But just because I can’t see or understand what He’s doing, that does not change the truth that He is providing with perfect love and delight. I may not be able to understand it now, but praise God that my lack of vision and comprehension has no effect on His work – and that when I trip on the path, He doesn’t leave me alone to pick myself up and brush off the dirt. I am not alone.
You are not alone.
Whether you’re walking in the crowded forest or open meadow in this season of your life, I hope you try to remember, as I am trying today (and many days) that joy in this life doens’t come from having a defined plan or the ability to see what waits futher up the path. That when we finally discover what’s around the bend, a new unknown pops up to loom ahead. That joy comes every moment, every day, from knowning and loving Jesus. That life is fragile and unpredictable, that the best plan we could ever create, complete with subletters, numbers and roman numerals, cannot bring real joy or peace. That there is a path. That He is on it with you. That faith is a lot like taking one baby step at a time with a few leaps mixed in between. That His love is great and deep and wide and that He who began a good work in you will carry it to completion.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
