Hope in the Lord

Recently, me and my colleagues had a conversation on injuries suffered from carrying heavy things.

I learned about a colleague's friend who was working as a steward. He dislocated his shoulder while carrying the tray where they normally push around the aisle to serve the food during flight. There was a surgery to correct the dislocated shoulder but something went wrong and he passed away during the surgery.

There was also another guy who was carrying heavy things and injured his spine in the process. Now, he can't stand too long or sit too long because it will hurt if he does either action for too long.

After the conversation, I am really glad amd thankful that God has given me a healthy body so far.

As youths we tend to boast about our strength or the time we have. However, like the two examples above, all these can be taken away from us in a second. We never know what will happen to us the next day when we wake up or go to work.

Our only true source of hope and strength comes from the Lord.

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:30-31
