"I outlived my social skills. I don't understand how anything works anymore—phones, apps, how people connect now."
How it sounds in your head: Everyone texts instead of calls. They use apps I can't figure out. They make plans on Facebook. I don't know the rules anymore. I'm from a different era. The world moved on without me.
"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know."
-- Jeremiah 33:3World declaring technological fluency as prerequisite for connection, making analog skills look like obsolescence.
His grandkids stare at screens instead of talking. He doesn't know what Zoom is. His phone has capabilities he'll never use. Every instruction manual assumes knowledge he doesn't have.
Old priest, doing temple service the ancient way, doubted the angel's promise. God shut his mouth nine months, then OPENED it with prophecy. Old man, old methods, NEW WORD. Age didn't disqualify the prophetic.
I REFUSE the lie that I'm technologically obsolete and relationally irrelevant. IT IS WRITTEN that God will show me MIGHTY THINGS I don't know—He TEACHES. I am Abraham's seed; the BARAK draws friends who meet me WHERE I AM, not where the world is. IT IS WRITTEN that His mercies are NEW EVERY MORNING—I'm not stuck in the past. I receive old-school friendships, men who SHOW UP in person, divine connections that don't require apps, NOW.
The Father whispers 'You're not obsolete—you're CLASSIC.' He's preparing friends who'll sit on your porch, who'll drink actual coffee, who value face-to-face over Facebook, who see your analog wisdom as TREASURE, not limitation.
