If we are all being honest, Halo hasn’t been the same since Bungie moved on to create Destiny and Microsoft handed the Halo license to 343 studios… as a Halo super fan, I have to admit that none of the games developed after this split have lived up to high points of Halo 3 or Reach. And it seems Xbox has realized this as well, moving 343 from developing future Halo projects to merely supervising them. While 343 studios clearly has a passion for growing the Halo franchise, the truth is nobody knows this series better than those who created it… and it will never be in better hands than when it was under the loving care of those who designed it.

The best we can hope to accomplish when usurping control of our lives from the Lord is to create our own inferior sequels to what He has originally designed for us to fulfill. As our Creator, He has known every beat to our life’s story before we took our first step… and even the “detours” He leads us down always serve a higher purpose than we comprehend at the time. Let’s relinquish control of our goals and dreams to Him and obediently follow what our Creator scripted for us… because it’s better.

O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; you understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. Psalm 139:1-4

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. Psalm 139:16
