Proverbs 24:14
Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
Yesterday when I went for my IPPT test, I bumped into a secondary school friend. He recognised me first and as we sat to chat, it dawned upon me that even though we came from the same prestigeous school, the path we took eventually differed resulting in our adult lives paths being so vastly different.
How different? Well, he ended up going to a polytechnic and took on different jobs before his current role of a house-husband! Today, he stays at home to look after his ten month old child, while his wife works to support the family. Gosh!
It is chance meetings like these that provide a really interesting moment to review the past many years and look back at how I was as a kid, student and young adult. Thereafter to see the path taken and evaluate what type of life I'm living now.
I'm sure many of us didn't plan to be who we are and where we are when we were playful teenagers. Yet, somehow, circumstances and decisions were made to bring us to where we are today. Will we be in a lesser off or better off situation if we had done things differently when we were young? I for one would like to find out, if I had a chance to experience a back to future experience. One can only imagine.
I am glad that the bible presents a future hope to all who make wise decisions. I better remind myself of the need to always stay calm, be less impulsive and choose to be wise.
