Not by Might, Not by Power

Since 2 Sundays ago, I had been brainstorming for problem scenario for my problem-based learning assignment (pair-work). For those who are in poly and NIE, I believe you all are familiar with this disgusting term, P-B-L. Yak! I had a rough idea of how I wanted to craft my problem scenario, but somehow or rather, it just could not fulfill certain requirements of this assignment.

My partner and I need to meet up with our tutor to discuss about the problem scenario on the coming Friday, so by hook or by crook, we need to meet up on Thursday to finalize our problem scenario. Till Wednesday, I was still trying very hard to make changes to my initial idea, but still these did not solve the problem of meeting all the requirements. I was dazing at my bookshelf then, casually but sincerely said a super short prayer: “Haiz… God, please help me”.

I got a glimpse at a box (which has a candle inside) that was given by Huiling during last year’s youth leaders and working committee retreat. Before I could even recall that the box contains the candle, an idea just “DING” in my mind, all of a sudden. So sudden that my heart literally missed a beat (I’m not trying to be exaggerative here, but it is TRUE!). This idea that took me by surprise was flawless – all aspects of the requirements were met! It was like receiving a complete package set.

Without hesitation, I was very much convinced that this must have come from God. Guaranteed + Chop! Why would I think so? Because I know my mind can only work in a systematic, logical, stepwise manner. If this idea was to be from me, it would have to go through the following processing: there is a candle in the box… How can the candle be applied to my PBL? Can the candle be applied to my PBL in the first place? In what ways can the concept of candle help me resolve some of requirement issues? And a lot more questioning. All these processing would take a lot of “hmmm” here and there. But the fact that the idea came so instantaneously and perfectly proved that it must have come from God. Indeed, all good and perfect gifts came from above!

On the following day (Thursday), when I was doing my QT and giving thanks to God, guess what He said to me? It is Psalm 46:1-11. Do check up the verses and you will see the marvel of God.
