Based purely on specs, the PlayStation Portable system should’ve dominated the handheld gaming landscape for many years… it was vastly superior to Nintendo’s DS in terms of raw power and graphics capabilities. Visually it was more impressive than its competition in every way, but what Sony’s PSP possessed in style it lacked in substance… with very few truly great games that took advantage of all that the hardware had to offer, the PSP struggled to attract a dedicated audience of fans and gradually faded into the annals of history as a forgotten member of the PlayStation family. Meanwhile, the humble DS grew through multiple successful incarnations before merging with the WiiU console to become the Nintendo Switch… the best of both worlds.

Even followers of Christ can be discouraged by the limited external measurements of success that we see when doing what He has placed in our hearts to do… and if we focus our attention on our amount of likes, follows, subscribers, or other outward indications of progress we’ll miss what He is doing on the INSIDE of us to develop us towards a future beyond our comprehension. Let’s embrace the growth that He is performing underneath the surface through our humble obedience to Him in these quiet places… He always grows our heart before we play our part.

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29
