    STILL SMALL VOICE<\/span><\/p>\n

    This painting contemplates about restlessness and fear.\u00a0 In recent times, uncommon happenings that endanger human lives are occurring more frequently. For a Singaporean like myself, such happenings are no longer events that would only occur in other countries.\u00a0 In fact, they can also happen right at our doorsteps now.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I cannot recall since when I started to develop a heightened sense of alert at some places, such as: in the public transport, in cinemas or in crowded shopping malls.\u00a0 In turn, I tried to avoid taking public transport or stepping out of my house as much as I can.\u00a0 When facing strangers, I also become more guarded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    As a believer in Christ, I would wish above all else to live a simple, peaceful life, without major adjustments on my part.\u00a0 I have to keep reminding myself to put my faith in the Word of God and His protection, instead of imagining possible evils that might come my way.<\/span><\/p>\n

    P.S. Our trust in God and our outlook towards our future have one thing in common – both believe that the future is either good or bad respectively. Since God has reminded us again and again in His Word, \u201cDo not fear!\u201d, let us just simply believe.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Update:\u00a0 In view of current pandemic, the scenario above repeats and heightens.\u00a0 Our only hope and salvation is in Christ alone!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]The bible in Romans 8:28 (NKJV) says, \u201c\u2026 all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.\u201d This statement is one of the greatest assurances given to all Christians. Often times we are easily bothered by unpleasant events that happen around us, and we neglect this truth \u2013 these unpleasant events may cause us to be uncomfortable or we may suffer losses, yet God is able to use these unpleasant events, with good events, normal and daily events, events of the past or even events which have nothing to do with us or world events, to bring about benefits for us the Christians.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In the painting \u201cAll Things Work Together For Good!\u201d, the male lead character raises his right hand \u2013 in\u00a0 the posture of victory like Superman taking off! Follow closely after him is a series of events which have happened, such as daily intake of medicine, doctors he has seen, catching grasshoppers when he was in primary school, money, ball, the tent he built with fellow scouts on Pulau Tekong when he was a boy scout, and the self-dug drain outside the tent, life jacket, favourite \u201cJaws\u201d movie, time and childhood friends, etc. All these put together have benefited me.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The same message is illustrated in the 2nd<\/sup> painting \u201cAll Things Work Together For Good 02!\u201d, the male lead character here is totally different from the lead character in the 1st<\/sup> painting \u2013 he displays a painful countenance, he is in a \u201cfalling\u201d posture, and following closely after him are namely, rubbish bin, campfire, horror movie on tv, characters of various sizes with one of them whispering rumours to several ears, toy drum, sofa, virus, HDB flat, microwave oven, basketball stand, American football, cells, robot toy, comic characters, aliens and letterbox, etc\u2026 Here it seems to portray a negative and unfortunate theme, yet the content is consistent with the 1st<\/sup> painting! Although the male lead character in this instant has fallen, yet in the truth that \u201cAll things work together\u201d, this fall working with the other events, will eventually cause the male lead character to benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n
