“God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.” - Karen Blixen

Decryption of quote

God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.

Imagine if life was a straight path, stretching out endlessly before us, with no twists or turns to surprise us along the way. It would be like reading the last page of a book before starting it, knowing exactly how the story will unfold.

But God, in His infinite wisdom, designed the world to be round, with curves and bends that keep us guessing about what lies ahead. This design ensures that we can never see too far down the road, allowing for moments of wonder, excitement, and discovery.

Just as a winding road through a beautiful landscape offers new vistas at every turn, the roundness of the world invites us to embrace the unknown and trust in the journey ahead.

It reminds us that life is not meant to be a predictable, straight line from point A to point B, but a meandering path full of surprises, challenges, and opportunities for growth.

By limiting our ability to see too far down the road, God encourages us to live in the present moment, to savor the beauty and wonder that surrounds us, and to have faith that the future will unfold as it should.

So, the next time you find yourself feeling anxious about what lies ahead, remember that God made the world round for a reason – to remind us that the journey is just as important as the destination, and that there is beauty in the unknown.

Embrace the twists and turns, the ups and downs, and trust that each bend in the road is leading you exactly where you need to be.
