Destiny's Claim

Friday, November 12, 2004

For those of you who have been reading my blog, you'll remember i ranted on about this killer programming lab at which i only managed to see the key element in completing it after the lab was over. (If you don't, you can always look down and the previous posts)

I think i finally realise why God let me fall. Pride is one, surrender is another. There are a couple of reasons, but i think the most important one was to realise that i am really nothing without Him.

I guess it takes quite a big event in our lives to remind us of that fact. We tend to control things everyday, doing our things as we wish, as if we were in total control over everything. But the fact is, we're not. As much as most of us truly hate to admit it in our hearts, we're not in control of anything at all. The number of white hairs you have, the way you talk, the time you get to school..it all seems as if it can be planned, ("let's see...if i take this bus i'll reach school in half and hour..") but in reality, so you think the bus will come as and when you want it to? We're not in control at all. And everytime we try to wrest control over God's dominion, i think He uses things like this to put us back in our right place.

Don't wrestle with God; you'll end up with a funny hip.
