God’s Perfect Arrangement

Leave a reply

On 21 August 2022, I excitedly embarked on a flight from Australia to Scotland. However, this holiday was not what I had envisaged at all. Nothing happened as planned. There was sadness and there was joy, hand in hand with a peace that this world cannot afford.

God prepares for us in all aspects of our life. We may not know at the time an incident occurs but further down the line, when we reflect on our circumstances, we can see that there are no coincidences in life, and everything is by the wonderful arrangement of God. God not only prepares for us, He also comforts us in times of sorrow.

When the Wind Blows

I recall sitting in the wee hours of the morning listening to a sermon centred on Song of Solomon 4:16: “Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon my garden, let its spices flow ….”  I remember listening to the speaker and feeling wow… this verse is truly beautiful. I want to live this verse. I want the wind to blow upon me so that it will bring out my fragrance to the Lord. At the same time, I was fearful of what the wind might bring.

At that moment, I instinctively knew something was wrong.  She returned later and told us to go to the hospital as they had better equipment. On the way to the hospital, I called my mum and began to cry uncontrollably because I knew that the Doppler was not faulty.

The Short, the Weak, the Fat Fingered

(Eph 4:16) – “from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”

Fellowship had finished and we stood around the notice board on the ground floor, ready to embark on our journey home. “You guys are tall! Can you help me pin these schedules up on the notice board?” Sister A asks. We respond with a chuckle, Brother A replies “I can’t do it, I’m way too short, sorry. The other two can do it!”. Sister A gives Brother B and I the schedules. “I cannot push the pins in!” I explain, as I use all my might to shove the pins into the notice board, “I’m far too weak! It’s up to you now!” Looking at Brother B.
