Standing Above the Maze

A story is told of a telephone operator who received a call every day from the same man, asking for the time of day. After a few weeks of this, she asked him why he was asking the time of her. "To set my watch," he said, "because I have to blow the whistle at my factory every day at exactly noon." To his surprise, the woman replied, "Oh, my! I set my watch every day by that whistle signal!"  Can you imagine the bafflement of them both as they realized the lack of certainty of what they each had presumed was a sure standard?

This could be a picture of our world today. More and more, people are realizing they have built a sense of security on false foundations. What theories and views of life that seemed to have worked in the past now leave us feeling bankrupt. The ideas and answers other men have offered us have deviated from a safe standard, just as the whistle signal deviated from the true time. And we are left with an undercurrent of discontentment running rampant beneath the surface of our lives. Many of us may have even lost confidence that there is any such thing for the human race as a future.
