Life Is Mission

Life Is Mission
By Lintang Bob Yong
I was on the way to a dinner party at a local renowned restaurant. As my car was parked at a distance away from the restaurant, I needed to walk along the 5-foot way to reach my destination. Nearing to the restaurant, there were a few aquariums, put up by the eatery that housed the sea creatures which had attracted a lot of attention from passerby. Curiosity made the better of me and I stopped by to have a closer look. There were big eels more than 3 feet long, garoupa fish look like monster, lobsters with eyes popping out, staring at me. There were other species of fishes that I could not identify.

I looked at the garoupa fish and took a fancy to its monstrous appearance. They swam and periodically chased their own kind and I wondered whether they knew their destiny. One garoupa fish swam towards me and greeted me by nodding its head as if to say hello. I murmured something like “see you later” and off I went to my party.
I was having fun at the dinner table, enjoying my food. A dish, named steamed fish, was served. I took a good look at the cooked garoupa fish. Suddenly it dawn on me that fish could be the one I bid farewell earlier on at the aquarium. I didn’t expect that we had to meet this way, and so soon. A sense of guilt felt over me.
God has created fishes as a food chain for us, just like some animals are a food chain for other animals. We are in this world for a purpose. God the creator of universe granted us the privilege to obey and be lead by Him.
I felt better when I think God has his way of doing things.
