you know, when you watch telly, sometimes you wonder if those kind of things in the movies happen in real life. how life can be such a drama. as i get older i came to realise that life is a drama in all its entirety.
i have been trying to solve all the problems in my current life with a view that someday i will have that problem-free period, where i can finally relax and have no worries. hakuna matata, dude. the trouble-free philosophy. however, life does not work that way. learned it the hard way that if life is trouble-free then i would not become who i am now and faith would not grow.
to know God, to know His work, there is no better way than to experience His miracles. and if your life is like driving on a freeway there is no need for God's work in it. fortunately for us, the reality is in this fallen world, there is always trouble for man. even a blameless man like Job was tried more than what any of us might have gone through before or going through now. in the end of it, he got to know God better.
"my ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you."
so, there is no need to whine about the broken light and blocked suction in room 5 (i.e. my surgery), nor difficult and demanding patients who look at you with disbelief "she looks 15, she could not be a dentist!" nor apartment owner who increases next term's rent - surprise, surprise - nor any other annoyance in life, may it be big or little. learn to have faith and of course, do your bit to deal with it.
