Weaving.....

Over the weekend, I visited Queensbay Mall and was fascinated by the demonstration of "Songket" weaving. The art of Songket weaving consist of using traditional heirloom to make intricate Songket brocade through painstaking weaving with gold or silver thread. It is very delicate process and it take lots of time and precision skill set before a beautiful motif is formed. It is recorded that a normal weaving process make take few days and for those with complicated designs, it may take weeks to be completed and may cost thousand of ringgits.

As I was observing the whole process, I am reminded that in life, we do go through similar weaving process. Sometimes it is painful and sometimes we don't understand what will the outcome be, but our good Lord knows exactly the "pattern" and the "design" that HE intended for our lives. We cannot know all the answers to all the conundrums and enigmas of life. That is why the exhortation of Scripture is always that we must trust the revelation of the Father's wisdom in areas we cannot understand. We need to just surrender to Him.

He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Be Blessed and have a great week.
