As He Pleases

It's been a month ago since my last post. Well, being active in USM Engineering Campus did not bear me much fruit, except for fame, or notoriety. Still, what makes me passionate is God and Ultimate Frisbee.

However, condition now in USM Engineering Campus is totally different than being in the Cheras Dogpound. I can count with one hand how many knows the basic of playing this game, and I can count with one hand how many are passionate about it. And when people are not passionate and afraid to try new things, weather plays an important role to hinder their decisions to join and learn something new.

Therefore, I pray for a nice weather so that everyone may join. But for the past one month, without any post, at the same time, without any pick up on the field. It just rained every time I decide to play. And I started to question "Why do You like to do this?!"

I was reading Daniel last night, trying to fall asleep, not even know what I was reading. But what caught my eyes was the story about King Nebuchadnezzar who was given a dream of a tree and which was interpreted by Daniel. It was a harsh story when the vision came true. But the important lesson is how King Nebuchadnezzar responded to what happened to him.

Daniel 4:34-35
"At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.


His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation.
All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing.
He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. 
No one can hold back his hand or say to him: “What have you done?” "

Whao, I didn't understand, but after today's game, and a long, quiet prayer on the field, it struck me. He holds the power, who am I to question? Who am I to hold back His hand? He does as He PLEASES.

I go, speechless, in shame of who I am and how I responded, was nothing higher than a non-believing King, who had all the reasons to challenge God, yet failed.

I believe some may go "What kind of God do as He PLEASES? Will He take one's life for fun? Change the climate for fun?"

Well I say, if God is an idiot, for fun He will. And the Bible does say God is foolish. LOL what?! God is foolish? Well, take a look at 1 Corinthians 1:25.


"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."

Well, God is foolish. But even His foolishness is wiser than man's wisdom. And so, if God does as He pleases foolishly, it would be even wiser than us. And so, do we have the right to question Him, when He is wisest?

For every weather goes on the earth, it is His wisdom and His will as He pleases. Even if it's against what we desire doesn't mean God who loves us justly would fool us. He does as He pleases to love us, to teach us, to be wise.

And so the next time it rains when I'm on my way home, let me say, "God, YOU ARE AWESOME!!!" And know that everything is going to be ALRIGHT!!!
