"Dating apps and modern romance are for young people. I wouldn't even know where to start at my age."
How it sounds in your head: You can barely work your smartphone. Your grandkids set up your email. The idea of a 'dating profile' sounds absurd—what would you even say? 'Widower, 87, enjoys Matlock and afternoon naps'? The whole system has passed you by. You're a relic trying to function in a world you don't understand.
"Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
-- Isaiah 43:19Spirit of intimidation using cultural change to isolate and convince you God's provision requires technological competence.
The mechanics of modern dating genuinely are foreign territory—apps, online profiles, texting etiquette. You feel like an immigrant in a country whose language you don't speak.
Abraham sent his servant to find Isaac a wife with only prayer and trust in God's guidance. Before the servant finished praying, Rebekah appeared—instant divine appointment without apps, profiles, or modern methods.
I REFUSE the lie that God's provision requires me to master systems I don't understand or navigate cultural changes beyond me. IT IS WRITTEN that God will do a NEW thing and make a road in the wilderness where I see no path. IT IS WRITTEN in Psalm 32:8 that He will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go. I am Abraham's seed, and the BARAK blessing brought Rebekah before the servant finished praying—my Father orchestrates divine appointments that bypass human systems. He makes the way.
Your Father isn't waiting for you to figure out technology or modern dating culture—He's running toward you with a divine appointment that requires zero apps, just His perfect timing and irresistible grace.
