My friend Jacki was an interior designer, focused on public buildings. She told me her Masters Degree had focused on wayfinding, a word I’d never heard before. She explained that in a hospital, for example, there are signs and even lines on the floor to help you get where you’re going. Same with highways and city streets. That’s wayfinding.
She also mentioned that part of that process is giving people “reassurance points”—arrows and signs that tells us we’re on the right track to the room or exit we’re looking for. “Rest Stop: Two Miles.”
Ever since the beginning, God has offered us wayfinding and reassurance points. Abraham, Moses, Joshua…. till Jesus said, “I am the way,” and “I will come again.”
