Job 9 vs 9
‘Who made the Bear,Orien and the Plaides,and the chambers of
the south?’
During the Covid pandemic ,even as we struggled, we came
face to face with our limitations as a doctor.
I had never seen the kind of suffering,confusion and desperation. As the pandemic raged on,I keenly observed
the stark contrast between what was going on all around and the pace of nature.
Each morning I would take time to lurk in the garden .The
birds would be singing ,busybodies flitting around,squirrels would scamper
around leisurely nibbling bits and pieces from the ground.The flowers in
different colours would boldly bloom unapologetically.The mango trees ,laden
with fruit would bend over with abundance of fruit.The Mogra tree in full bloom
would beam with resplendent joy.
I would take in everything with a heart full of gratitude to
the Father who lovingly created it ,timed to perfection ,in perfect harmony,
before venturing out into the dark confusion of the pandemic world.
I got a clearer understanding of Job’s frame of mind.
