I write this episode with a humbly thankful heart. Why? Well, by His grace and mercy, the LORD provided a 4-week internship in the Singapore office of an English law firm and I have completed my first week.
On my first day, I believed I entered an entirely different realm! Those are only, in my honest opinion, the best words to describe it. One can only fully understand what I am saying when one is in the firm. It may only be the first day, but by the fact that I already have such comments, it is quite telling!
I believe that things will heat up and get more interesting in the coming days. Therefore, it is all the more that I continue to disregard all my pride, humbly perform all tasks to the best of my ability and giving thanks to the LORD each day. I am also of the opinion that through this, He will show me first-hand what it REALLY means to be humble. It is a terribly difficult thing to do if we rely solely on our own human strength.
Well, this is not the first humbling experience I had thus far, but I can say that this reinforces the meaning of my Chinese name "敬善", when translated means "respectfully submitting to what is good". These characters were decided upon by my late paternal grandfather after thoughtful study into the life of King Josiah in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
Even though my grandfather is no longer around to tell me directly why he chose those characters, it will serve as a constant reminder of what I need to do which is neatly summarised in my life verse, Micah 6:8 (ie to seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly with my God), These are the things that are good - which the LORD has shown through His Son, Jesus Christ.
