"Do Something with Nothing" .. what a good slogan usually used by those portable devices.. during our wait for bus or friend,we know how to keep ourselves occupied. but what about our long wait in life? or even long suffering?? are we able to be constructive in these waits???
honestly,i have difficulty in this area cos i am impatient person. even waiting for a friend for 5mins is long enough.. my friends will know this - 15mins max before i walk off in frustration. Patience is really not one of my forte. many a times, though my eyes are looking at the Crucifix,but my mind are looking ard,exploring ways to 'help God' in this wait. i realise this time is really a intensive training (test) on my patience.. like a pro-active child, i just cant keep still and concentrate in this class.
again, i was looking ard just now when i had this feeling to read today's daily bread... perhaps just for fun. but the message blesses me so much! in a way,i'm ashamed for my lack of concentration, but in another, i'm so blessed cos it brings my focus back to God and to know that everything is indeed in His control. How can i, a creation, 'help' the Creator who know the perfect timing and plan for every one of us? I will and must learn to be patient, look for God-given opportunities instead of focusing on the obstacles.. afterall, He IS the Creator of Heaven and earth, of all creatures and even humans!! what else more He cant create?
Eph 5:15-20
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
