Enabling Autonomous Driving in Faith - Boaz

I recently met with a group of pastors from my denomination. We are in our 40s and 50s, and it is time to fulfill the work the Lord entrusted us in our ministry. However, the field of ministry we are called to is narrower and narrower than we thought. To fulfill the mission, we have to work dual jobs.

During the meeting, we ate and had tea and talked about our latest news. Listening and talking comforted and encouraged us, and we exchanged information, resulting in a fruitful meeting.

After the meeting, as we were leaving, a junior pastor in the group shared an interesting story about Tesla that made my ears perk up. In particular, when it comes to autonomous driving, all Tesla cars have autonomous driving capabilities from the factory. However, to activate it, you need to upgrade it.

It's like upgrading a computer program, and you pay a certain amount of money. To me, this goes beyond the idea that you would need to go to a factory or dealership and do some mechanical work. But I was surprised at how simple it was to just update the program.

And the realization that came in a flash is what this column is all about: the idea that we all have the same ability to know God from birth. It's the idea that we all have the same capacity to know God from birth, but that it can be limited by circumstances and limitations that prevent it from being updated.

The more obvious reason is that faith is not paid for. If you look at the entire Bible as a full-screen view, meditating and studying it, you will see that it all starts with faith and leads to growth and maturity, which means that faith activates our ability to know and seek God.

Tesla's self-driving cars are evolving very quickly. This information about Tesla's autonomous driving is a glimpse into the application of our faith. Tesla, the iconic electric car, revolutionized the worldview of the gasoline-powered car, and the idea of self-driving via satellite was a leap forward.

These revolutions and ideas of innovation crystallized for me the importance of faith. The idea that God's and each of our faith will be activated by faith and upgraded by prayer and the Word. As I take my spiritual upgrade to the next level, so that my soul can seek the Lord autonomously.
