Today, I celebrate the return of my Apple Laptop. It was a sad departure almost a month ago when it suddenly malfunction and could not function at all. I sent it to the Apple authorised workshop which I first paid $80+ for diagnosis and they came back after 3 days asking for nearly $900 to repair the motherboard. I refused as this laptop costs slightly more than a $1000. So with a broken heart, I left it at home, while painstakinly used a half working Dell laptop that was connected to the TV.
God is good and take this opportunity to work on my characters. It was tough of course , having to sit in front of the TV to do what I want on the laptop. In short, I am stuck in the same position unlike before where I have the freedom to roam around. The lesson learnt was not so much about the content I need to access from the laptop but the loss of freedom. Isn't this the same as many of the situations we are in?
If you have money before and you are not now, it isn't really the lack of money that you are unhappy with. It is the loss of freedom that you could not have like before where you could exchange money for the products or services that you want. Money was merely an instrument of exchange. The more you have, the different level of product and services you can have access to. That is all.
That is all? That is what drives humans on the pedestal of ever chasing for this material wealth, isn't it ? Returning to using the Apple laptop is like finding back an old friend, so much to talk about. The familiarity of using the keyboards, the files to access to ,etc. It gives a certain level of stability and comfort, I must say. Thank you God for the wonderful lessons.
Isaiah 43.19 - See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up to you, do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
We have to move to a higher level of consciousness in order to understand this verse that God has given to us. Solving human problems using human intelligence is limited while accessing to the power and wisdom of God, we can receive many wonders and signs, creative strategies that our finite human intelligence can offer. If God is making a way in the wilderness, that means the search for a way out is near. He knows we are lost, circling round and round, perhaps losing hope and feeling dejected and losing our sense of well being. He shows us what we could not do on our own, for that I am thankful.
Trust the Lord, always.
