All of the incredible virtual reality games that are available to play on Sony’s PlayStation VR add a whole new way to experience video games, but the VR headset was NOT Sony’s first attempt at immersive gameplay. Long before they launched their VR headset, Sony released the “EyeToy”, a camera designed to control the game using the player’s physical movements… and I picked one up at launch along with any game that featured it. Sadly, the technology at the time wasn’t ready to support the vision Sony had for it… the games were shallow, the controls didn’t work very well, and ultimately the EyeToy was ahead of its time. But once their capabilities caught up with Sony’s dreams, a true VR experience was finally born.

There is often a delay between the visions that the Lord places in our hearts and those dreams becoming reality… not because He is dangling a carrot in front of our eyes that we’ll never reach, but to guide us towards our future destiny while developing our capabilities and capacity for it along the way. Joseph, David, Abraham and so many others waited decades for the promises they were given to come to pass, and the time in between was used by the Lord to grow both their character and their skills so they could handle the role. Let’s not lose faith in the dream if the wait is long… we aren’t waiting, we’re preparing.

I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. Genesis 23:29-30

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay long. Habakkuk 2:3
