We’ve got verse reflections that help us see reasons why the Bible is relevant today. Simple Bible devotions are a great way to connect with God in the everyday. And when we want answers to our troubles, sometimes sitting in the silence of God’s apparent absence is the closest to God we can feel. What do you do when you pour out your heart to silence, to a brick wall? While it may feel like we are doing just that, the very fact that God still hears our voices and knows our hearts is amazing. Bringing our pain to him is an acknowledgment of our frailty, our hurt, and our need for help. The prayer of lament – like in Psalm 88 – is the healthiest (but hardest) way of coping with pain and grief. Human attempts to numb our sorrow will lead to any number of dismal conclusions. There can even be a sick solace in despair: surely no one else has it as hard as me! The human will to press on in dire circumstances is impressive but, done without God, only leads to burnout and indifference. Whatever the source of the psalmist’s pain, they believe God to be the main instigator. Their friends have shunned them, and they’re not even sure God is listening– they might as well be talking to themself. The psalmist cries out from frustration, from a place of abandonment. We aren’t the only ones disappointed when God seems silent. Our prayers of establishing normalcy and a semblance of routine have seemingly gone unheard. My wife and I uprooted our lives in Colorado, moved back to Michigan, had a car die, and lost a close friend in an accident, all the while working three jobs to stave off rising costs of living. This last year is about as close to Job’s life as my story’s been so far. O Lord, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me?” “But I, O Lord, cry to you in the morning my prayer comes before you. Well… sometimes, it’s best to do just that.Ĭheck out Steven’s devo on the importance of lament. What can we do when everything’s going wrong? When we just want to cry out to God and ask, why are you letting this happen? Join us in learning about why the Bible matters and how God can speak to us through it. Finding time each day to study the Bible can be tough, so we’ve compiled some good Bible verses to reflect on through verse reflections like this from Christian writers. We’re still digging into the DualSense controller and will continue to tune it as we polish the game for our launch.The abundance of short, simple devotionals can be hard to sort through. For a game like ours, it brings so many details of our world to life and makes interactions that much more compelling. It’s so satisfying and incredibly immersive. Feeling your feet crunch through deep snow, the tug of your sail cloth popping open as you leap into the air, or feeling the wind blow - all of these impacts are felt in your hands as you control your character. Feeling your bow draw back and the resistance match on the controller’s adaptive triggers is so visceral. Our minds were blown DualSense is such a big deal. We had played a couple demos from Sony showing how immersive it could be. Of course, our next thought was DualSense. Load times are dramatically reduced - it runs like a dream on PS5. 60fps right out of the gates, at max graphical settings, full shadows, high res textures it is awesome. It looks great on PS4 and runs well, but on PS5 the game is truly amazing. As a small team of three Chien was already focused on PS4 and had implemented a number of optimizations over a series of months that got us running at a solid 30fps on PS4.
