IN AWE OF THE TIMELESS GOD

Have just been reading the works of Dr.Francis Schaeffer. Fascinating mind. Yet so humble and in awe of God. I mean he talks with clarity and precision and makes such a complicated topic sound so easy and yet his absolute awe of God is amazing. Wish I could have that. Come to think of it we all thank God for what He has done for us and for qualities that pertain to our day to day life (viz. holiness, love etc etc) But how many times do we actually thank and are in awe of God for being just that- God?? Im sure all of us do it sometime but Im equally sure that it is not as often as our gratitude for things more in perspective for us. I think I need to realise as a Christian that even if I was not born again and even if Jesus would not have done what He did, He would still be God. As Schaeffer says, God was the personal being before the world began and thats what separates us from the philosophies of the world. Hallelujah. Praise God. We worship such a Timeless and Eternal God. Come to think of it, God never needed us to have a relationship with Him. He chose to create us. He had the Trinity. Sometimes I wonder how small my thinking and living has become. If only I could practise in reality the presence of God in my life, what a powerful life I would be li ving,

CHANGE OF PLANS

Its amazing how priorities change. How one's perceptions and thought processes change and how we as humans can justify any wrongs that we do. Well right now, I am in Medical ICU and have occasionally busy days. But not as the rest of our docs. But even, then it can be pretty stressful at times. In this case talking to patients and their relatives is so tough and so irritating, that one almost forgets that these guys are human beings in need of our sympathy. We treat these patients , but how? We think that by starting these chaps on central lines or doing impressive procedures on them we are doing them a favour, but we forget patient dignity and their wants. And whats so funny is that as students how self righteous and judgemental we were towards the then registrars. Robin Cook was right whan he said said," Internhip and residency are the years which are made to make you into a good doctor and destroy you as a human being".
