The Hidden Signal

Apple's Find My network is one of the most remarkable pieces of technology most people never think about. When you misplace your AirPods or leave your backpack on a train, your lost device sends out a silent Bluetooth signal. Here is the extraordinary part — it is not Apple's servers that find it. It is other people's iPhones. Every iPhone in the world, even sitting idle on a nightstand or tucked in a stranger's pocket, is quietly listening for those distress signals and anonymously relaying locations back to the owner.

Your phone is serving a purpose you never assigned it. You bought it for calls, texts, and photos. But Apple designed it for something larger — to be part of a vast, invisible network of help.

The same is true of your life in the hands of God. You may think you understand your purpose — your career, your family, your ministry. But the God who knit you together designed you for connections and contributions you cannot yet see. The Almighty is using your presence, your words, even your quiet faithfulness in ways that ripple far beyond your awareness.

Paul reminded the Corinthians, "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it" (1 Corinthians 12:27). You are always part of something larger. Your purpose is never just about you — it is about the network of grace God is building through every one of His people.
