I was hanging out at Shie Ming’s place just now and I kinda got excited when I saw a piano in her apartment. Finally I managed to get my hands on a piano!
I taught her how to play simple chords with the piano and she was playing it all wrong at first. All the wrong notes and the wrong keys, it sounded horrible (sorry..ahaha). But then it suddenly struck my mind that life is sometimes like a piano.
A piano has lots of keys on it. Black keys or white keys..you name it! Those keys are like decisions or choices in our lives. Decisions or choices are always laid before us. I could go to the super market with a car or I could just walk over. I could be nicer to that person today or I could just continue to be mean. I could study harder or I could just fail my exams.
Play the wrong note of the song, you’ll turn the song into a disaster. Hit the right notes and you’ll create a symphony. Sometimes the options are pretty narrow and we don’t know which decision to make. Most of the time, this boils down to “Did I make the right choice?”
This is where the music sheet comes in place. The music sheet guides you through the song, helping you to hit the right notes at the right timing.
Now here’s the same as what God does for our lives. The song of our life has already been written down by God. There’s the slow part, the fast part, the climax part, the suspense and also the ending. We hit all those notes right and we’ll get a wonderful song. Hit the notes wrong, all you get is nonsense.
